President Donald Trump will host major technology firms on Wednesday to sign a pledge committing them to supply power for new AI data centers, a White House official and CNBC said. Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Oracle and OpenAI are listed as signees, though the pledge's legal force and implementation remain unclear amid decentralized state grid regulation.
