Biden touts new Microsoft AI center on site of Trump’s failed Foxconn deal


President Biden will champion a new Microsoft artificial intelligence investment in Wisconsin on Wednesday — showcasing the failed economic commitments of his political rival Donald Trump, whose promises for a key Foxconn plant in the battleground state never materialized.

The president will appear in Racine, Wis., at the site of the failed Foxconn manufacturing campus, to announce Microsoft’s $3.3 billion investment in data centers to fuel its ambitions to build powerful AI systems, according to the White House. The investment is expected to create 2,000 permanent jobs and 2,300 temporary union construction jobs, and the company says it will also invest in workforce training programs in the state.
