Trump announces $20 billion US investment by Emirati businessman

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a $20 billion investment for data centres in the United States by an Emirati company led by billionaire Hussain Sajwani, a close business partner of the Trump family. The investment by DAMAC Properties in the United Arab Emirates is intended to highlight Trump’s personal ability to attract new money for big projects. The announcement follows a pledge made last month by the Japanese billionaire investor Masayoshi Son, while at Trump’s side, to invest $100 billion in the United States.
