Trump touts data center projects at midterm rally in Ohio

During a campaign rally in Vandalia, Ohio, US President Donald Trump strongly defended the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence data centers, highlighting their massive economic potential and framing them as essential infrastructure for American technological dominance.

Trump pushed back against mounting local opposition, calling data centers a "golden goose" and warning that if the U.S. slows down or rejects these projects, the technology and capital will simply shift overseas.
