A firm that cut millions of dollars in donations to President Donald Trump's plan for a massive new ballroom wing of the White House has suddenly found one of its flagship energy projects canceled by the Bureau of Land Management with no explanation.

According to The New York Times, "The project, known as Esmeralda 7, would have comprised a sprawling network of solar panels and batteries across 118,000 acres of federally owned land in the Nevada desert northwest of Las Vegas. It was expected to produce up to 6.2 gigawatts of energy, enough to power nearly two million homes." It would have been one of the largest solar installations anywhere in the world.

A developer leading the project was NextEra Energy, one of the biggest utility firms in the United States.

He said the statement while criticizing Democrats and their approach to voter-identification laws. Critics framed it as evidence of an alleged plan to change constitutional provisions governing presidential terms. Later, Trump told Fox News' Laura Ingraham he was trying to encourage Christians to vote for him in the 2024 presidential election and said he doesn't care if they "don't want to vote" after that because "the country will be fixed, and we won't need your vote anymore."
