Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo pressed Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, on Friday over weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth, emphasizing an earlier forecast that the U.S. economy would grow at a 4 percent pace. The exchange comes as Trump and his administration argue the economy remains resilient despite concerns about inflation, tariffs and broader economic uncertainty. Hassett said data centers create jobs, attract higher-income workers and can spur local investment in housing and other development. His comments come as the rapid expansion of data centers has sparked debate nationwide. Overall, only 27 percent of U.S. voters support AI data centers being built in or near their community, while 10 percent are neutral.
