Reuters | Trump to Attend AI & Energy Summit in Pittsburgh This July

U.S. President Donald Trump will attend the inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit—hosted by Senator Dave McCormick at Carnegie Mellon University on July 15, 2025. The event gathers top tech and energy executives, including leaders from OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Alphabet, Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Chevron, signaling a high-stakes effort to align AI ambitions with energy infrastructure. White House AI czar David Sacks is also expected to participate, urging a deregulatory approach to AI to prevent U.S. innovation from sliding behind China. This summit spotlights Pennsylvania’s energy-rich landscape—and by extension, EQT’s natural gas capabilities—as central to powering the country’s AI expansion. President Trump’s participation reinforces the political momentum behind energy-centric AI growth strategies.
