President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a $20 billion FOREIGN investment to build new data centers ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, according to CNBC.

Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani, a Trump associate and founder of the property development company DAMAC Properties, is pledging “at least” that amount, the president-elect said at his Florida home Mar-a-Lago. “They may go double, or even somewhat more than double, that amount of money,” Trump said of Sajwani’s company. The “first phase” of the plan will take place in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Indiana, Trump said. Source: Stocktwits, CNBC

Italy plans $1.5 billion SpaceX telecom security services

Italy is in advanced talks with Elon Musk’s SpaceX for a deal to provide secure telecommunications for the nation’s government — the largest such project in Europe, people with knowledge of the matter said Sunday. Discussions are ongoing, and a final agreement on the five-year contract hasn’t been reached, said the people, who asked not to be identified citing confidential discussions. The project has already been approved by Italy’s Intelligence Services as well as Italy’s Defense Ministry, they said. The negotiations, which had stalled until recently, appeared to move forward after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia visited President-elect Donald Trump in Florida on Saturday.
