President Trump spoke at the Future Investment Initiative Institute on Wednesday and delivered an optimistic message for business leaders looking to invest in America’s future.
“I come today with a simple message for business leaders from all across the nation and all around the world,” Trump said. “If you want to build the future, push boundaries, unleash breakthroughs, transform industries and make a fortune… there’s no better place on earth than the current and future United States of America under a certain President named Donald J. Trump.”
President Trump touted large-scale investments that have been made thus far under his administration.
“The best and most successful business leaders on Earth are now racing to invest in the United States,” Trump said. “Since November, DAMAC has announced plans to invest $40 billion in the U.S., creating at least 10,000 jobs—SoftBank has announced investments of between $100-$200 billion, creating 100,000 American jobs. Oracle and Open AI and SoftBank are now collectively committing $500 billion to keep the U.S. on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and so many more.”
The Trump administration had previously announced the investments as part of project Stargate, stressing the importance of keeping artificial intelligence development active within the U.S. President Trump described the investment as part of the coming “Golden Age of America.”
In his speech at the FII Summit, Trump emphasized the renewed interest investment companies have demonstrated since he took office in January.
“So many companies want to come to the White House and have a little news conference all the time,” Trump said. “They want to come and I’ll do that…anytime they want to go $10 billion or more, I’m there.”
