America’s continued economic and technological leadership depends on reliable, large-scale data center infrastructure built here at home.  Data center infrastructure is the foundation of the internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), and supports our economic and national security.  As that infrastructure grows and the related electricity demand increases, the American people should not be footing the bill for the benefit of private companies.  Instead, the data center boom should be leveraged to address affordability and benefit all American households and businesses.

President Trump is calling on the leading United States hyperscalers and AI companies to build, bring, or buy all of the energy needed for building and operating data centers, paying the full cost of their energy and infrastructure, no matter what.

As part of the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, companies agree to protect American consumers from price hikes due to data center energy and infrastructure requirements, and lower electricity costs for consumers in the long term, including by:

1. Building, Bringing, or Buying New Power Supply

• WHAT: Companies will build, bring, or buy the new generation resources and electricity needed to satisfy their new energy demands, paying the full cost of those resources whether by building, or buying from, new or otherwise additive power plants. Where possible, these companies will also add more capacity that serves the broader public by increasing supply.
• WHY: This advances self-sufficiency and protects Americans from higher prices.

2. Paying for New Power Delivery Infrastructure Upgrades

• WHAT: Companies will pay for all new power delivery infrastructure upgrades required to service their data centers, including adequate network upgrade costs to ensure that these expenses are not passed on to the ordinary household.
• WHY: This way, data centers can benefit all ratepayers and the grid.

3. Paying Whether They Use the Power or Not

• WHAT: Companies will voluntarily negotiate new, separate rate structures with their utilities and relevant State governments wherever they build data centers. Importantly, they will pay these rates for the power and related infrastructure that are brought online to service their data centers, whether they use the electricity or not.
• WHY: This will protect the American people from increased utility bills as a result of the development of these data centers.

4. Investing in Local Job Creation and Workforce Development

• WHAT: Companies will invest in the local communities in which they build data centers.  This includes hiring from within the local community and establishing programs to develop relevant skills.
• WHY: This allows all American workers to benefit from the oncoming technological boom at every step from construction to operation.

5. Contributing to Electric and Community Resilience

• WHAT: Companies will coordinate with grid operators to contribute to a more reliable grid and, whenever possible, make available their backup generation resources at times of scarcity to prevent blackouts and power shortages in their communities.
• WHY: Consumers will benefit from enhanced grid resilience from data center power resources in times of emergency.

A PROCLAMATION

America’s continued economic and technological leadership depends on reliable, large-scale data center infrastructure built in the United States.  Data center infrastructure is the foundation of the internet, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), and it supports our economic and national security.  In order to harness the full power of American innovation and ensure that Americans do not become reliant on foreign industries, the development of large-scale data center infrastructure and AI must occur here at home, with American workers and engineers leading the way.  Our investments in these industries will also employ Americans across a wide array of professions in a shared endeavor that will bolster our Nation’s economic standing for years to come.

However, as data centers expand their footprint and electricity demand associated with AI increases, American households must be protected against increasing energy costs.  The hyperscalers and AI companies that increase electricity demand must pay for the full cost of the energy and infrastructure needed to build and operate data centers, and must not pass this cost on to the American people.  Instead, the data center boom should be leveraged to address affordability and benefit all American households and businesses.

Today, pursuant to the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, leading United States hyperscalers and AI companies guarantee that data centers’ energy needs will not increase household electricity costs for American citizens.  Instead, these companies will build, bring, or buy the new generation resources and electricity needed to satisfy their energy demands, and pay for all new power delivery infrastructure upgrades to service their data centers.  They will voluntarily negotiate new, separate rate structures with their utilities and relevant State governments, and pay those rates, and for their infrastructure, whether they use the electricity or not.  They will also invest in local communities and coordinate with grid operators to contribute to a more reliable grid.  These measures will ensure that Americans are protected from higher energy prices, benefit from grid upgrades and increased grid resilience, and benefit from this technological boom while the United States continues its global leadership in innovation and advanced technology.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim as follows: 

(1)  The Ratepayer Protection Pledge and the commitments embodied therein effectuate the national policy of the United States.

(2)  On this day, March 4, 2026, seven leading technology companies have accepted the terms of the Ratepayer Protection Pledge.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the United States Armed Forces are executing Operation Epic Fury with unparalleled precision, overwhelming power, and relentless effectiveness. With crushing dominance and devastating force, our warfighters are systematically dismantling the Iranian regime’s ability to ever again threaten America, our allies, and global security.

Today, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine provided an update from the Pentagon on the extraordinary progress of Operation Epic Fury and the unrelenting strength of America’s warriors:

• “Thus far, Operation Epic Fury has delivered twice the air power of ‘Shock and Awe’ of Iraq in 2003… We are accelerating, not decelerating. Iran’s capabilities are evaporating by the hour, while American strength grows fiercer, smarter, and utterly dominant.” (Watch)
• “Iran’s theater ballistic missile shots fired are down 86% from the first day of fighting, with a 23% decrease just in the last 24 hours — and their one-way attack drone shots are down 73% from the opening days.” (Watch)
• “Starting last night, and to be completed in a few days in under a week, the two most powerful Air Forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies.” (Watch)
• “In the Indian Ocean, an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo, Quiet Death — the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.” (Watch)
• “The leader of the unit who attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed. Iran tried to kill President Trump — and President Trump got the last laugh.” (Watch)
• “Iran’s senior leaders are dead. The so-called ‘Governing Council’ that might have selected a successor? Dead, missing, or cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the same room. Senior generals, mid-level officers, enlisted ranks — they can’t talk or coordinate, let alone mount a coordinated and sustained offensive… The Iranian Air Force is no more. Built for 1996; destroyed in 2026. The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.” (Watch)

President Donald J. Trump renewed his urgent call for Congress to swiftly pass the SAVE America Act, a straightforward, commonsense bill to fortify our elections against fraud and ensure only American citizens cast ballots. This legislation enjoys overwhelming support from the American people — yet Radical Left Democrat politicians continue to obstruct it, choosing partisan power plays over national security and the will of the people.

Fresh polling underscores the SAVE America Act’s popularity with Americans:

• 71% support the SAVE America Act — including 69% of independents and half of rank-and-file Democrats.
  • 81% favor requiring voter ID — backed by 79% of independents and 70% of Democrats.
  • 80% want states to purge non-citizens from voter rolls.
  • 75% support proof of citizenship to vote.
  • 61% support sharing unredacted voting rolls with the Department of Homeland Security.
• 60% call the SAVE America Act a “commonsense way to stop fraud and protect the security of our elections.”
• 58% recognize at least some voter fraud exists in the U.S.
• 85% agree only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections — including 84% of independents and 82% of Democrats.

These numbers align with other polling that shatters Democrats’ tired narrative:

• Pew Research Center: 83% of Americans — including wide majorities of Democrats, independents, Whites, Blacks, and Latinos — favor voter ID requirements.
• Gallup: 84% support voter ID, with 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats on board — while an equally robust 83% back proof of citizenship for voter registration.
• Rasmussen Reports: 75% support voter ID, with support increasing over the past decade.
• Heritage Action: Strong majorities across five battleground states support the SAVE America Act.
• Additional surveys, including from Napolitan News Service and The Center Square, consistently reveal extraordinary bipartisan support for voter ID.

Today, we celebrate the revolutionary life and legacy of Alexander Graham Bell, a titan of ingenuity whose groundbreaking invention connected the world and transformed communication forever.  On what would have been his 179th birthday, we honor his towering genius, inspiring vision, and unrelenting determination.

Born in Scotland, Alexander Graham Bell moved to America as a young adult seeking opportunity.  While working to teach the deaf community how to communicate, he became fascinated with inventing a device that carried the human voice through electricity.  In a Nation fueled by bold ideas, Bell found the resources and support to pursue his ambitious vision.  In March of 1876, Bell and his assistant, Thomas Watson, succeeded in sending the first audible message over an electric line.  With that breakthrough, Bell revolutionized the way the world communicates and helped place America at the forefront of innovation.  Following his invention of the telephone, Bell would go on to invent the photophone, the metal detector, the audiometer and make significant contributions in the aeronautical industry—establishing himself as one of America’s most prolific inventors.

My Administration remains committed to furthering Bell’s legacy by strengthening America’s leadership in the next-generation of communications and emerging technologies.  We are expanding and modernizing the infrastructure that powers innovation, accelerates advancements in artificial intelligence, and secures our global technological dominance. 

As we pay tribute to the immortal legacy of Alexander Graham Bell, we are reminded that among America’s greatest strengths has always been our ability to tame the unknown, break barriers, and achieve the impossible.  To this day, his resolve is an enduring testament to the promise of the American Dream, the strength of the American mind, and the power of the American spirit.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the extraordinary American women of our past and the titans of the present who have strengthened our families, enriched our culture, defended our values, pioneered our industries, and shaped our Nation’s glorious future.

For 250 years—from the diligence of Betsy Ross, the faith of Katharine Drexel, and the courage of Amelia Earhart to the ingenuity of Annie Oakley, the selflessness of Clara Barton, and the timeless integrity of Harper Lee—strong women have brought our Nation to countless new heights and moments of triumph.  To this day, across every industry, women are champions of success, trailblazers in their fields, and models in their homes.  Whether they serve our Nation as service members, government leaders, entrepreneurs, or mothers, every devoted woman guides our Nation’s strength, prosperity, and way of life.

For this reason, my Administration will always promote policies that embolden women, uplift our children, and fortify the American family.  Since I returned to office last year, we have increased access to fertility treatments, protected women’s sports, returned parental rights to our classrooms, and expanded the child tax credit—because we want American women and their families to grow, thrive, and flourish.  Affordable costs, safer neighborhoods, and common sense in our Government all empower women to build successful careers and foster thriving homes, and my Administration will never stop fighting to ensure the American Dream is within their reach.

This month, we recognize and honor the incredible women who have built our Nation, formed our conscience, and elevated our spirit.  May their legacies continue to inspire future generations of citizens to strive for excellence, lead proudly, and carry forth the enduring values that make America the greatest country in the history of the world.

President Donald J. Trump has been unequivocal and consistent for decades: Iran will never be permitted to obtain a nuclear weapon. This position — rooted in longstanding, bipartisan American policy — guides his actions to ensure the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism cannot threaten the world with nuclear devastation.

• “After Midnight Hammer, they were warned to make no future attempts to rebuild their weapons program, and in particular nuclear weapons, yet they continue. They’re starting it all over… My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy, but one thing is certain: I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon.” (2/24/26)

• “I want to make a deal with Iran, I want to do something if it’s possible, but for that to happen, it must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars, and permanently and verifiably cease its pursuit of nuclear weapons.” (5/14/25)
• “Iran can have a much brighter future — but we’ll never allow America and its allies to be threatened with terrorism or a nuclear attack. The choice is theirs to make. We really want them to be a successful country … but they cannot have a nuclear weapon.” (5/13/25)

This Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we stand alongside every citizen courageously battling colon or rectal cancer, we pay tribute to those who lost their lives to the disease, and we renew our pledge to build a future that is healthy, strong, and totally cancer-free.

This year, it is estimated that colorectal cancer—the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women under the age of 50—will claim the lives of an estimated 55,000 Americans.  Colorectal cancer often progresses without symptoms, but it is highly treatable with early detection and diagnosis.  For this reason, I implore the American people to be strong stewards of their health and be aware of their family history and risk factors.  Regular screening is recommended starting at age 45.  Lifestyle choices like maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet can also play a role in cancer prevention.

My Administration is committed to addressing the root causes of our Nation’s chronic disease crisis, including cancer, which shatters far too many lives.  Last year, I established the Make America Healthy Again Commission to prioritize the health of our citizens.  I applaud the efforts of our country’s most innovative researchers, medical professionals, and scientists who tirelessly pursue cures as well as groundbreaking treatments and technologies to allow earlier detection and to enhance and extend the lives of cancer patients.

This month, we remember those whose lives were stolen as a result of colorectal cancer.  We send our thoughts and prayers to those who have lost precious friends and loved ones.  We pray that God will grant courage, strength, and hope to the men and women battling these vicious diseases—and above all, we vow to continue our fight to achieve a healthy American future.

For nearly half a century, the Islamic Republic of Iran — the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism — has killed and maimed American citizens and service members through its own forces and proxy militias. More Americans have been killed by Iran than any other terrorist regime on Earth.

President Donald J. Trump is doing what Presidents over the last five decades have refused to do — eliminate the threat once and for all. By destroying Iran’s missiles, annihilating their navy, and ensuring they can never obtain a nuclear weapon, the Trump Administration’s bold and decisive action is protecting American lives and advancing American interests.

Here is only a partial record of the Iranian regime’s blood-soaked war on Americans:
