White House Pushes 'Worker-First' Agenda, Cites Nearly $10 Trillion in Pledges

Fact-checkers say the headline number blends earlier commitments with new pledges.

Overview

  • Officials highlighted major corporate commitments from an April Investing in America event, including NVIDIA at $500 billion, Apple at $500 billion, IBM at $150 billion, and SoftBank at $700 billion.
  • The administration says pledges since the 2024 election exceed $8 trillion, with additional commitments bringing the total near $10 trillion.
  • Workforce metrics touted include roughly 500,000 jobs added in 2025, about 183,000 apprenticeships, $84 million in training grants, and $61 million for homeless and at-risk veterans.
  • The White House describes its investment compilation as non-comprehensive, and independent reviews question the aggregation and comparability of the figures.
  • Social media speculation about the president’s whereabouts during Labor Day subsided after he appeared at his Virginia golf course and posted on Truth Social referencing pending tariff litigation.
