Trump discussed investment plan with technology leaders
Former President of the United States Donald Trump held a special meeting at the White House with the country's leading figures in technology and business. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Leaders of the world's largest companies such as Meta, Apple, Microsoft, and OpenAI participated in the event. Trump recognized the meeting participants as the main leaders of the economic and innovation revolution.
The development of artificial intelligence and investment programs in the US were the main topics of the meeting. During the conversation, President Trump made a number of promises to the businesspeople.
He expressed his readiness to create favorable conditions in tax and labor legislation, simplify construction permits, and especially ease the process of obtaining electricity supply and licenses necessary for data centers. At the same time, he emphasized that the US is far ahead of China in the field of artificial intelligence.
The companies participating in the meeting also announced their investment plans. For example, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg plans to allocate at least $600 billion for artificial intelligence and data centers by 2028.
Apple announced that it will spend an additional $100 billion to develop manufacturing in the US. Thus, the companies expressed their intention to make significant investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure and production capacities.
During the meeting, issues of reducing import duties and supporting domestic production were also discussed. Trump once again emphasized the policy of developing local industry and attracting large investments to the country.
According to analysts, such meetings are important for the president in two directions. The first is economic development and the creation of new jobs, and the second is securing the support of large companies and investors during the election campaign.
Billionaires presented their investment plans, showing their readiness to support the president's policies. Additionally, the meeting demonstrated Trump's intention to strengthen ties with corporate America and intensify technological competition with China.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the company's plans in India during a conversation with the Apple CEO. It is worth recalling that former President Joe Biden warned in his final speech before leaving office about the possibility of the country being controlled by a handful of billionaires.
