The Trump administration postponed a meeting of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, a panel that includes Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and other prominent technology executives. The council is linked to Trump’s AI task force, but officials have not provided a definitive reason for the delay; reports differ on whether the meeting has been rescheduled. The postponement comes as technology stocks have faced sharp swings amid investor concerns that Democrats’ new congressional majority could pursue stricter AI rules and slow data-center construction, alongside doubts about the returns on heavy AI investment. Trump has continued to back AI and data-center expansion, while incoming Democratic lawmakers are preparing to challenge aspects of that agenda.
