The United States will add at least as much new electric power generation capacity as China going forward under the Trump administration.

“Under the Trump administration, we will be adding at least as much electric capacity as China. We think we're going to catch them and maybe even have something a little bit extra.” View on YouTube
Explanation

The opposite occurred: China added roughly 8x more power generation capacity than the US in 2025 alone (China's installed capacity grew 16.1% year-over-year vs. the US's projected 1.1% growth in 2026), and China's total installed capacity now exceeds the combined total of the US, EU, India, Japan, and Russia.
