President Donald Trump secured the largest foreign investment in U.S. history during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House, where the leader agreed to raise his country’s investment in the U.S. from $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion. MBS stated he was pleased to do so because the United States is “the hottest country on the planet.”
BREAKING: On the spot, President Trump achieved a near doubling of Saudi Arabia’s $600 billion investment in the USA to $1 trillion.
TRUMP: “So you’re saying to me that $600B will be $1T?!”
CROWN PRINCE: “DEFINITELY! […] It’s the hottest country on the planet!”
MBS’s giant trillion-dollar investment will go towards various sectors of the U.S. economy over the next year. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman committed his country to increasing its planned investment into the U.S. economy to nearly $1 trillion over the next year on Tuesday, announcing the move during a meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Trump initially stated the investment would amount to “at least” $600 billion, but the Saudi leader confirmed the higher amount during his remarks.
“You’ve agreed to invest $600 billion into the United States and because he’s my friend, he might make it a trillion, but I’m going to have to work on him. But it’s 600. We can count on 600 billion. But, that number could go up a little bit higher,” Trump said Tuesday.
“That means investments in plants, in companies, money on Wall Street. And what it really means for everybody, what really counts is jobs. A lot of jobs. We have a lot of jobs,” Trump added.
Bin Salman vowed to meet the $1 trillion number just minutes later during comments to the press.
“Today and tomorrow, we are going to announce that we are going to increase that, that $600 billion to almost $1 trillion of investment, real investment and real opportunity in many areas,” he said.
President Trump is truly bringing us into the American Golden Age…
