## Post

President Trump has demanded every new AI data center must build its own power plant.

"China has no problem with electricity. And by the way, we don't either, because I'm demanding that they build their own electric plant. 

Every one of those centers that goes up now under me is building their own electric. And they're giving the excess electric. They're giving the excess electric right now. They're giving it into the old grid that we had. We have an old broken grid and that juice is pouring into the grid."
