In a Fox
News interview with Laura Ingraham, Trump pushed back on local backlash to AI
facilities, warning it might be 'a China PR thing' and that rejecting them
risks economic decline.
He highlighted benefits like rising property values and new opportunities, while stressing U.S. leadership in AI over China by a full year and dismissing existential threat fears.
Trump called for smart oversight, noting recent shutdowns of risky projects, amid polls showing public concerns over energy use, noise, and environmental impacts.
