PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 16 – The $70 billion investment targets AI data centers, power generation, and workforce training to secure U.S. leadership and create 9,000 jobs, officials said.
- President Donald Trump and Senator David McCormick announced plans totaling about $70 billion in new funding aimed at advancing artificial intelligence and energy projects within Pennsylvania during a summit held on Tuesday.

- The summit gathered over 60 top executives from companies like Amazon, Microsoft, BlackRock, and ExxonMobil, highlighting ongoing investments such as Amazon’s $20 billion in data centers and Microsoft’s $1.6 billion plan to reopen a nuclear reactor.
