On Truth Social, Trump writes: “We will in no way hinder or stifle the growth of this incredible industry. Instead, we will nurture it, help it, and watch it grow!”

The announcement comes as criticism of AI grows. A recent poll shows that 61 percent of Americans oppose new data centers, which require large amounts of energy. Several top names in the industry have also recently warned that development is moving too fast and could soon threaten the survival of humanity.

Trump dismisses the warnings as a "hoax" and says the US must not lose the AI race to China.
