U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a landmark private-sector investment plan on Tuesday, promising up to $500 billion in funding to support artificial intelligence infrastructure. This ambitious initiative aims to position the United States ahead of its global competitors in this vital technological sector.

Trump revealed that a joint venture called Stargate, involving OpenAI (creator of ChatGPT), SoftBank, and Oracle, will spearhead the effort. The project will build cutting-edge data centers and generate over 100,000 jobs in the U.S. The companies involved, along with other equity partners, have already committed $100 billion for immediate deployment, with the remaining funds to be invested over the next four years.

Key Highlights:

Joint Venture: OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle are collaborating on Stargate, aiming to revolutionize AI infrastructure.
Immediate Investment: $100 billion has been allocated for the first phase, with the full $500 billion to be invested over the next four years.
Job Creation: The project is expected to generate more than 100,000 jobs in the U.S.
Construction Begins: The first data centers are already being built in Texas, with plans for 20 centers, each spanning half a million square feet.

Executives Backing The Plan

The announcement was made at the White House, with key industry leaders such as SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison joining Trump. Ellison emphasized that the data centers will be pivotal in powering AI applications, including those for analyzing electronic health records to aid healthcare professionals.

Ellison also credited Trump for making the project a reality, stating, “We wouldn’t have decided to do this unless you won.” Altman echoed this sentiment, noting that the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) would not have been possible without Trump’s leadership.

While it was unclear if this announcement was an update to a previously reported initiative, the scale and impact of the project make it a significant milestone in the U.S.’s AI development strategy. The venture is set to play a crucial role in advancing the country’s leadership in AI technologies.

Industry Overview And Key Figures

Data from the Statistical Service, Cyprus (Cystat), reveals a significant decline in beer exports from local factories in June 2025. Exports dropped to 245,087 litres, representing a 24.2% decrease from 323,278 litres recorded in June 2024. In contrast, domestic consumption experienced a modest increase of 1.5%, reaching 4,601,840 litres. These trends contributed to an overall slight contraction in total beer deliveries, which fell by 0.2% year on year to 4,846,927 litres.

Comparative Analysis With The Previous Month

May 2025 presented a markedly different scenario. During that month, beer exports surged by 83.9% to 381,641 litres, while domestic consumption fell by 8% to 4,115,967 litres. The net effect was a 4% year-over-year decrease in total deliveries, with figures amounting to 4,497,608 litres in May 2025. This stark contrast underscores a volatile market dynamic that warrants close attention from industry stakeholders.
