Trump told Punchbowl News he had seen signs Texas appears to be opposing data-center construction and said that would be a mistake. He added he was not taking a formal position but noted communities that welcome data centers draw substantial capital inflows, that some data centers are striking buildings, and that they are economically important; if Texas says no, he said, it would be an error because data centers may be more important than oil. - H
