The WSJ reports the loan would come from the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital and would be its largest by a wide margin. The money would fund domestic manufacturing of data-center components rather than a new AI facility. The deal is not approved, and its size and terms could change. It follows last month's executive order banning some foreign equipment from the US grid.
