President Donald Trump used his TRUTH Social platform to highlight a wave of significant investments in U.S. manufacturing. He credited his economic policies with revitalizing domestic production and attracting billions of dollars back into the American economy.
“GE Aerospace announced on Tuesday a nearly $1 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, the latest company to do so under the Trump administration… It marks the latest company to put money back into the U.S. economy,” Trump stated, emphasizing the ongoing trend of corporate investment in the country.
Surge in Domestic Manufacturing Investment
The former president pointed to several major companies making substantial commitments to U.S. manufacturing. Among the most notable is Eli Lilly, which announced an additional $27 billion investment to expand domestic drug production last month, bringing its total U.S. manufacturing investment to more than $50 billion since 2020.
Apple, one of the world’s largest tech companies, also unveiled a historic commitment of $500 billion over the next five years, which includes building an advanced AI server manufacturing facility near Houston and doubling its Advanced Manufacturing Fund from $5 billion to $10 billion.
These announcements follow similar pledges from global giants such as SoftBank, DAMAC, and Meta, which have also committed to investing heavily in the U.S.
Trump’s Economic Vision: Tariffs, Deregulation, and Crypto
Trump’s economic policies—including tariffs, support for small businesses, and financial deregulation—have crucially shaped corporate confidence in investing in the United States. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon recently weighed in on the business community’s thoughts on Trump’s policies, highlighting the benefits of reducing bank red tape, fostering a business-friendly environment, and promoting the U.S. as the potential “crypto capital of the world.”
Trump has long championed an “America First” approach, arguing that his policies incentivize companies to reinvest in the country rather than outsource jobs and production overseas. With manufacturing, technology, and pharmaceutical giants pouring billions into domestic infrastructure, Trump is framing this economic resurgence as a direct result of his leadership.
But for now, the former president is making it clear: “America is back in business.”
