President Donald Trump highlighted a new report on Tuesday that showed his first 100 days included $5 trillion in business investments and 451,000 jobs for Americans.
The president featured the Fox Business report on his Truth Social account Tuesday morning.
“President Donald Trump’s economic agenda is inspiring companies to invest in America,” White House Principal Deputy Communications Director Alex Pfeiffer said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“Hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs have already been announced and more are on the way. The President’s low tax, low regulation, and America First policies are paying off,” he continued.
According to the White House’s statement, the country added 10,000 manufacturing jobs in President Trump’s first full month in office, marking a sharp reversal from the previous year, when the U.S. lost an average of 9,000 manufacturing jobs per month, totaling 111,000 under the Biden Administration.
The auto industry led the rebound, adding 8,900 jobs in February after shedding 27,300 positions in Biden’s final year. This shift suggests companies are bringing production back to the U.S. and responding positively to Trump’s trade policies.
The new investment also adds to companies like Apple, which announced last month that it will invest $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, adding 20,000 American jobs and building a factory in Texas by 2026.
The well-known iPhone and computer maker will work with Hon Hai Precision Industry’s Foxconn to build a 250,000-square-foot facility in Houston to assemble servers to power Apple’s AI efforts.
“APPLE HAS JUST ANNOUNCED A RECORD 500 BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE REASON, FAITH IN WHAT WE ARE DOING, WITHOUT WHICH, THEY WOULDN’T BE INVESTING TEN CENTS. THANK YOU TIM COOK AND APPLE!!!” Trump posted to Truth Social.
GE Aerospace announced plans in March to invest nearly $1 billion in new U.S. manufacturing, creating 5,000 American jobs.
The company’s investment will include expansion in 16 different states.
“Investing in manufacturing and innovation is more critical than ever for the future of our industry and the communities where we operate,” CEO H. Lawrence Culp Jr. said.
