On Thursday, July 23rd, 2026, President Trump expanded his pledge aimed at ensuring data centers "pay their own way" for the electricity they consume. Alongside this expansion, Trump took the opportunity to defend data centers. He announced that a range of entities, including utilities and state governments, have joined the pledge, which was initially signed by major technology companies.

This move reflects a growing coalition committed to addressing the energy demands of data centers across the United States.
