McCaul Praises Trump Announcement on AI Investment in Texas

January 21, 2025

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) — chairman emeritus of the House Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security Committees — released the following statement after President Trump announced new AI infrastructure investments in Texas.

“The future of warfare, economics, and daily life all depend on high-tech industries like semiconductors and artificial intelligence. That’s why I chair the AI Caucus and why I founded the Congressional High-Tech Caucus more than a decade ago — because our advancements in these fields will determine whether our nation leads or shrinks back on the world stage.

“I’m thrilled to see President Trump leveraging the power of American innovation and private sector dollars to supercharge our AI industry, with the first project starting in Texas. Our state is already a hub for high-tech development, and we stand ready to help President Trump turn our nation into an AI superpower, out-compete our adversaries, and keep Americans safe.”
