President Biden visits Wisconsin  

President Biden visited the state of Wisconsin to announce the plan of building the new data center. The announcement event was near a site where former president Donald Trump promised to build a new manufacturing plant to make Apple American-made again. At the time, the Taiwanese semiconductor company Foxconn purchased a building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to make this vision a reality; however, that never happened.
