Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick team up to promote energy investments in Pennsylvania
President Donald Trump and Sen. David McCormick of Pennsylvania are planning on announcing roughly $70 billion of energy investments at a new summit that focuses on energy and innovation. The president has repeatedly pledged U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market, and Pennsylvania — a swing state critical to his wins in 2016 and 2024 — is at the forefront of that agenda. Coal, a key part of Trump’s energy agenda, is a big industry in the state. McCormick says Tuesday’s summit is meant to bring together top energy companies and artificial intelligence leaders, global investors and labor behind Trump’s energy policies and priorities. Participating companies include Blackstone, SoftBank, Amazon Web Services, BlackRock and ExxonMobil.
