WASHINGTON, DC (AP) – President Donald Trump and PA U.S. Sen. David McCormick will jointly announce about $70 billion of energy investments in the state today as the president travels to Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University for a conference with dozens of top executives to promote his energy and technology agenda. The president has repeatedly pledged U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market, and PA is at the forefront of that agenda. Coal, a key energy component, is a big industry in the Keystone State. McCormick says today’s PA Energy and Innovation Summit is meant to bring together top energy companies and artificial intelligence leaders, global investors, and labor behind Trump’s energy policies and priorities. Some participating companies include Blackstone, SoftBank, Amazon Web Services, BlackRock, and ExxonMobil.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
SEN. DAVID MCCORMICK
