NEW: White House Launches Website To Track Flood Of Investments Into The U.S.
The White House has launched a new website in order to track the flood of new investments in the United States as the Trump Administration seeks to work out new trade deals with more than 70 trading partners.
“Since President Donald J. Trump returned to office, his America First economic policies have sparked trillions of dollars in new investment in U.S. manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure,” the website’s front page reads under a header titled, “The Trump Effect.” The front page also features tickers from dozens of the nation’s most successful companies.
The website further lists all of the major U.S. investments that have been announced since Trump returned to the White House in January.
At the top of the list sits a lofty $500 billion investment from tech giants OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, all of whom sent senior executives to the White House in order to announce a joint venture known as Stargate just days into the president’s term. The ambitious project is geared towards bolstering artificial intelligence (AI) operations across the nation.
In total, the project is projected to create approximately 100,000 tech jobs in AI, data centers, and semiconductor sectors.
Other major investments include a $500 billion pledges from Apple and chipmaking giant Nvidia. “We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook when the announcement was made back in February.
“From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”
The website also details investments from foreign companies, which have increased significantly since the president announced his “Liberation Day” tariff strategy on April 2.
Just last month, while Swiss pharmaceutical firm Novartis announced $23 billion in new U.S. investments, a pledge that will lead to the construction of new U.S. facilities and updates for existing ones. In total, the plan will generate an estimated 1,000 new jobs, while thousands of others will be relocating to the United States, resulting in more than 4,000 American jobs.
“Made possible by President Trump’s leadership — The U.S. has seen a surge of private and foreign investment that are fueling job growth, innovation, and opportunity across every corner of the country,” the website reads.
The news comes as the Trump Administration is engaged in active discussions with dozens of trading partners after the president issued a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs just a few days after they took effect. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters earlier this week that a trade deal with India, and possibly additional major Asian trade partners, is just over the horizon. “They have been the most forthcoming in terms of doing the deals,” Bessent said. “As I mentioned, Vice President Vance was in India last week. I think that he and Modi made some very good progress. So I could see some announcements on India.”
The treasury secretary has previously expressed optimism over negotiations with South Korea and Japan and indicated that new deals could be reached within the next several weeks.
