CNBC周四确认，科技巨头英伟达和思科已向特朗普总统的白宫舞厅翻修项目承诺数百万美元。
Technology giants Nvidia and Cisco have committed millions to President Donald Trump's White House ballroom renovation project, CNBC confirmed on Thursday.
据《华盛顿邮报》报道，英伟达和苹果各承诺向该项目捐款2500万美元。这些捐款位列名单前茅，总捐款额超过3.3亿美元。
Nvidia and Apple each pledged $25 million to the project, according to a report from The Washington Post. Those were among the largest donations on the list, which totaled more than $330 million.
一位英伟达发言人对CNBC表示：“作为一家美国公司，我们对美国的支持至关重要，且独立于任何商业利益。”“我们很荣幸能够向一个服务于所有美国人的非党派信托基金捐款，并在捐款作出后一直公开如此表态。”据《华盛顿邮报》报道，亚马逊、Palantir、ServiceNow、Meta平台和微软也以数百万美元的规模进行了捐款。微软和Meta拒绝对该报道置评。思科确认其捐款500万美元。
"As an American company, our support for the United States is paramount, and independent of any business interests," a Nvidia spokesperson told CNBC. "We were proud to be able to make a donation to a nonpartisan trust that serves all Americans and have said so publicly since the donation was made." Amazon, Palantir, ServiceNow, Meta Platforms and Microsoft also contributed in the millions, according to The Post. Microsoft and Meta declined to comment on the report. Cisco confirmed its $5 million donation.
《华盛顿邮报》报道称，亚马逊、苹果、惠普公司、美光科技、Palantir、Salesforce、ServiceNow和浩瀚空间均被列为主要捐款方，但截至目前尚未对置评请求作出回应。
Amazon, Apple, HP Inc., Micron, Palantir, Salesforce, ServiceNow and Vast Space, which were all listed as major donors in the report, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
《华盛顿邮报》指出，舞厅捐款是通过一个非营利性信托基金进行的，捐款人收到了向“唐纳德·J·特朗普舞厅”捐款的承诺表格。立法者和专家多次指出该项目的捐款行为，要求披露私人捐款人的信息。一些人还对这些承诺可能对政策决策或任何联邦合同授予产生的影响表示担忧。
The Post reported that the ballroom donations were sent through a nonprofit trust, and donors received a pledge form for donating to the "Donald J. Trump Ballroom." Lawmakers and experts have repeatedly called out donations to the project, requesting information on the private donors. Some have also raised concerns over the potential influence these commitments could have on policy decisions or any federal contract awards.
科技领袖普遍倾向于特朗普亲商、监管从宽的反垄断和监管方式，一些公司在其第二任期内通过人工智能基础设施和国防交易获得了数亿美元的合同。
Tech leaders have largely favored Trump's pro-business, light-touch approach to antitrust and regulation, and some companies have secured hundreds of millions in contracts through artificial intelligence infrastructure and defense deals during his second term.
Meta首席执行官马克·扎克伯格和英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋等科技领袖一直是华盛顿国宴和会议的常客，并在9月29日的白宫人工智能午餐会上担任核心人物。
Tech leaders like Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang have been regulars at state dinners and meetings in Washington, and were central figures at the White House AI luncheon on Sept. 29.
