Overview

  • President Trump hosted an 'Investing in America' event marking his first 100 days back in office, celebrating major corporate commitments to U.S. growth.
  • Since his election, private sector investment pledges have reached nearly $8 trillion, with $2 trillion announced in the past 100 days alone.
  • High-profile companies such as Apple, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Oracle have made significant investments, including $500 billion commitments from Apple and Nvidia each.
  • CEOs credited administration policies—tariffs, a 15% manufacturing tax rate, deregulation, and energy support—for driving the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing and AI infrastructure development.
  • Skepticism remains about whether all commitments will materialize, given past high-profile projects that fell short and challenges like trade and energy grid constraints.
