Trump warns on AI data centers

Trump warned that those who don't allow AI data centers to proliferate will be left behind.

The comments are part of his push for US dominance in AI, which he calls 'the new oil.' Tech companies are racing to build data centers, but face opposition from local communities concerned about energy use and environmental impact.

Trump's remarks are likely to intensify the debate.
