Trump’s Economic Policies Fuel Record Investment Across US Industries

President Donald Trump’s leadership has triggered a rush of new capital into the United States, with trillions in combined investments announced by both international allies and leading corporations. The activity spans healthcare, technology, manufacturing and energy.

Johnson & Johnson committed $55 billion to expand its footprint in the U.S., a 25% increase over its previous levels. The company began construction on a 500,000-square-foot facility in Wilson, North Carolina, that will create 5,000 jobs and manufacture cancer treatments. Company officials project the overall economic benefit will exceed $100 billion annually.

On the international front, the United Arab Emirates announced a decade-long $1.4 trillion plan to expand its economic engagement in the United States. The decision came after Trump met with Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed and other Emirati leaders in D.C.

Among the UAE’s projects are plans by Emirates Global Aluminum to build a new facility inside the U.S., as well as a commitment from the XRG energy firm to grow its investment in natural gas production and energy infrastructure. Sajwani’s $20 billion data center project adds to the country’s growing portfolio.

In the tech sector, SoftBank followed up a meeting with Trump by pledging $100 billion to support artificial intelligence expansion inside the country. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has raised its U.S. investment to $165 billion with plans for more fabrication sites and research hubs.

Apple is dedicating $500 billion to U.S. operations, while Nvidia has announced that hundreds of billions will go toward increasing domestic chip production. These investments come alongside Trump’s announcement of a $500 billion AI infrastructure effort with OpenAI and Oracle.

Trump’s administration also rolled out 25% tariffs on aluminum and steel from countries like Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The move aims to encourage companies to source those materials from inside the United States.

The Department of Commerce lists Canada, Brazil and Mexico as top suppliers of steel and aluminum to the U.S.
