On Sunday, November 17, in an interview with Jonathan Carl on ABC News' "This Week", Abdul El-Sayed, the democratically elected senator from the state of Michigan, criticized the decision of Donald Trump, the president of the United States, to start a war with Iran, saying that previous presidents of the United States refused to enter into such a war.
Al-Sayed said: "Think about the war with Iran; a war that all previous presidents refused to enter into, because it was a stupid decision. There is a place called the Strait of Hormuz that anyone could have told you would become a bottleneck for energy supplies.
He added that Trump entered the war with Iran in a situation where only the energy sector played an important role in maintaining the S&P 500 index due to the expansion of the data centers of artificial intelligence companies.
The Michigan senator-elect also said that the activities of artificial intelligence companies and data center development are out of control and this issue should also be addressed.
