According to CoinMeta, U.S. President Donald Trump stated in a post on Truth Social that opposition to data center construction by local communities would lead to those communities falling behind and becoming impoverished. He argued that data centers could bring lower taxes and numerous job opportunities, and many other regions are eager to introduce such facilities. Trump warned that if the United States kills this "golden goose," the consequences would be borne by the local communities, and claimed that China would not want to see a movement against data centers in the U.S.
