President Donald Trump has announced that Hussain Sajwani, an Emirati billionaire businessman who founded the property development giant DAMAC Properties, will invest $20 billion in new data centers across the United States.
The first phase of the multi-year investment will fund data centers in Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas, Trump said during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago home on Tuesday. The data centers will primarily support AI and cloud technologies.
“We’ve been waiting for years to increase our investments in the U.S.,” Sajwani said. “We’re trying to invest $20 billion, and [potentially] even more than that.”

The U.K. is forging ahead with plans to make the act of creating sexually explicit “deepfake” images a specific criminal offence.
A deepfake refers to manipulated media, often video or audio, created using AI to make someone appear to say or do something they didn’t.
The U.K. had already made sharing — and the threat of sharing — sexually explicit deepfake content an offense via the Online Safety Act that went into force last year. But creating the content itself was not covered. As such, the Ministry of Justice today announced plans to make the existing rules more holistic, covering those who create it too — irrespective of what role they play in any subsequent sharing.
