United States President Donald Trump declared that his administration has brought in a record-breaking $8 trillion in investments, marking what he described as an unprecedented economic achievement. Speaking at the White House during the 'Invest in America' event, Trump said, “There’s never been anything like that in this country, we’ve never had anything close.”

He used the platform to criticize former President Joe Biden’s administration, labeling it an “economic disaster.” Trump tied current economic figures to Biden’s legacy, pointing to the recent 0.3% year-on-year contraction in the U.S. economy for the first quarter of 2025. “This is Biden’s economy,” Trump stated, framing the slowdown as the result of failed policies prior to his return to office.

Highlighting his ‘America First’ agenda, Trump declared, “We finally have a president who wants to put our country first, who believes in America first.” He emphasized that the influx of investment is a direct result of this renewed focus on domestic economic strength and business confidence.

Trump extended gratitude to key business leaders and multinational corporations for their commitment to investing in the United States. He praised Hyundai for committing $21 billion and Johnson & Johnson for planning $55 billion over the next four years. Tech giant Nvidia also drew special mention, with its pledge to invest $500 billion in U.S. operations during the same timeframe.

“I want to congratulate you all on your incredible success and accomplishments. You’re amazing, you’re the biggest and the best,” Trump said, addressing the executives in attendance. He framed their contributions as critical to rebuilding American industry and maintaining global competitiveness.

The president concluded his remarks by reaffirming his administration’s commitment to pro-growth policies and restoring confidence among investors and citizens alike. The event marked a high-profile moment in Trump’s ongoing economic narrative, aimed at cementing his vision of national resurgence driven by private sector partnership and bold leadership.
