🇺🇸Trump endorsed a bipartisan energy-permitting reform bill ahead of Monday’s procedural Senate vote; the legislation remains pending.

The proposal addresses federal approval procedures for major energy and infrastructure projects. The supplied report says Trump urged senators to support the legislation before Monday’s procedural vote, citing construction of pipelines, mines, and power plants. It identifies support from both oil companies and renewable-energy developers.

The reported AI-specific provision concerns responsibility for electricity infrastructure and costs. In a Truth Social statement reproduced by Financial_Express, Trump described the American Affordability and Jobs Act as incorporating his “Taxpayer Protection Pledge,” requiring large AI data centers to build their own generation facilities and pay their electricity costs. This is Trump’s description of the pending bill; the supplied material does not include the legislative text.

Congressional passage remained unresolved. The report said only two months remained in the current congressional session and identified opposition from House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who objected that House Democrats had not participated sufficiently. Other progressive Democrats favored seeking a different agreement using their influence the following year.
