President-elect Donald Trump announced a $20 billion foreign investment in new data centers Tuesday.
The pronouncement came during Trump’s pre-inauguration press conference at Mar-A-Lago, his second since his November victory. The $20 billion investment will come from Billionaire Hussain Sajwani, a Trump associate and founder of the property development company DAMAC Properties.

“The Trump Data Center announcement today is his agenda coming to life before he even takes office,” former Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz wrote on X Tuesday. “Data centers use lots of energy. They go where energy is most efficient, obviously. There is an expectation that American energy costs will come down. Thus, the billions are being invested here, not elsewhere.”
