Trump says companies should pay 'dividend' to communities to make data centers popular

By Reuters News

- US President Donald Trump said if companies want to make data centers popular, they should pay the community or individuals within the community a "dividend".

"I have watched the process closely, and data centers that were highly unpopular in a certain area, have become extremely popular when a financial deal is struck," Trump said in his Truth Social post on Wednesday.
