ALBANY, New York — President Donald Trump blasted Gov. Kathy Hochul’s first-in-the-nation pause on data center construction, calling it “a terrible decision” that will hurt New York’s economy.
“Governor Kathy Hochul, for political reasons, has terminated all Data Centers being built, or to be built, in New York State,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “These Companies are now being sought in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Arizona, and many other States. Both the Taxes and the Jobs amount to LIQUID GOLD!”
The president added that New York “should change its Policy, IMMEDIATELY.”
Hochul responded to Trump with a social media post of her own.
