President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed he has secured “$17 trillion” in investment this year – or even more than that. When contacted, the Whiite House itself g8vesca vague figure of 8.8 Trillion in investments. Even those cannot be fully accounted for.
From CNN: “Instead, White House spokesperson Kush Desai said in an email that the media is doing “pointless and pedantic nitpicking” and said, “The President is right: industry leaders have committed to investing trillions to make and hire in America, with trillions more to come.” He added that the media would be “beclowned” when Trump’s “policies take effect and investment commitments materialize into new factories and facilities.”
The EU and Saudi billions are intentions to invest in American Companies, the billions from India are a trade agreement, money from the UAE and Qatar don’t appear to be investments either but some sort of economic exchange and the list goes on.
