Brett Guthrie Calls for Investigation into Foreign Influence on U.S. Data Centers

Brett Guthrie, a Republican member of Congress representing Kentucky's 2nd district, has raised concerns about foreign influence on U.S. data centers. He has directed a letter to the Trump administration, urging an investigation into alleged foreign campaigns, particularly from China, Russia, and Iran, aimed at undermining trust in U.S. infrastructure. A report by digital risk management firm Alethea highlights approximately 700 mentions of data centers by these countries' state media, suggesting an effort to exploit local opposition to data centers as a means to erode confidence in U.S. companies and government. This development comes amid widespread public resistance to the construction of AI data centers, with 71% of Americans reportedly opposing such projects near their homes.
