Former President Donald Trump is pushing back against New York's efforts to curb the growth of data centers, a move he claims will stifle innovation and hinder the state's economic recovery. Trump, who has been a vocal advocate for the development of data centers, has slammed the state's new moratorium on the construction of large data centers, calling it "terrible" and a "disaster" for the industry. The moratorium, signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul in June, aims to address concerns over the environmental impact and strain on local infrastructure caused by the rapid expansion of data centers. Trump, who has invested in several data center projects, argues that the moratorium will have far-reaching consequences for the state's tech industry and its ability to compete globally.
