President Donald Trump has criticized Texas's stance on data centers, calling the state's opposition a "mistake" that could forgo an economic sector potentially larger than the oil industry. He noted that other communities and countries are actively seeking these developments.
Trump's comments follow Governor Greg Abbott's directive for a temporary pause on new data center projects connecting to the state's power grid. Governor Abbott has not yet publicly responded to the former president's remarks.
