Protecting Americans' data from China is central to an America First agenda

In January, President Donald Trump announced the 500 billion Stargate project, which will accelerate the buildout of America's digital infrastructure while creating hundreds of thousands of U.S. jobs. This investment in American data centers – which are key to nearly every aspect of how we live in an increasingly digital world – will be a game-changer for the U.S. far into the future. It is a reflection of the business community's recognition of the benefits of investing in the United States under President Trump. But more importantly, Stargate shows the commitment of President Trump and those in his administration to finding every opportunity to protect American citizens and our nation's digital sovereignty by combating Chinese aggression. China's pursuit of global technological dominance is a direct assault on our freedoms and sovereignty.
