Washington, Jan 29 (NationPress) - President Donald Trump has asserted that the United States is witnessing a significant uptick in investments, record highs in the stock market, and robust support from major technology, finance, and consumer corporations, claiming the nation is on the brink of an unparalleled economic expansion.

During his address at the Treasury Department's Trump Accounts Summit on Wednesday, Trump remarked that over $18 trillion in investments is currently flowing into the US, propelling extensive construction projects across various sectors including automobiles and artificial intelligence. He characterized the speed of this growth as unprecedented in contemporary history.

“We have thousands of businesses being established nationwide and hundreds of gigantic plants,” Trump stated. He cited examples such as “car manufacturing plants and AI facilities” as proof of what he termed a rapidly quickening industrial and technological surge.

Trump attributed the investment boom to his administration's tax and trade strategies, including tariffs that he claims are compelling companies to produce within the US instead of overseas. He noted that businesses from countries like Canada, Mexico, Japan, Germany, and other parts of Europe are shifting production sites to evade trade penalties.

“They’re all coming here to manufacture their vehicles because they want to avoid tariffs,” he said.

He also emphasized a growing sense of market confidence, mentioning that the S&P 500 reached 7,000 for the first time and highlighted that the stock market has achieved 52 record highs since his election, contributing an additional $9 trillion in total value.

Trump framed this market rally as an indication that global investors now perceive the US as the most appealing destination for capital. “We were mocked a year and a half ago,” he said. “Now, we’re the most sought-after country in the world.”

His remarks prominently featured technology and energy infrastructure, stating that major projects are being approved significantly faster than in previous times, enabling companies to establish the necessary facilities for AI development and advanced manufacturing.

He asserted that expedited approvals for power generation are essential to support AI operations, which necessitate substantial amounts of electricity. Trump contended that streamlined permitting is crucial for accelerating both investment and job creation.

“You will witness employment growth and wealth generation for middle-income individuals like never before,” he proclaimed.

A key highlight of the event was the introduction of “Trump Accounts,” a government-supported investment account intended for every newborn American child.

Trump explained that this initiative would be backed by federal funds and an expanding coalition of corporations, investors, and philanthropists.

According to the proposal, each account will be initiated with $1,000 from the government, with parents, employers, and private donors being able to contribute additional funds. Trump noted that these accounts could potentially channel between $3 trillion and $4 trillion in wealth to young Americans over a period of 15 years.

Major companies have announced their participation in this initiative. Trump mentioned that numerous employers will incorporate Trump Account contributions into their employee benefits packages, naming companies such as Uber, Schwab, Charter Communications, Intel, NVIDIA, Broadcom, IBM, Coinbase, Continental Resources, and Comcast.

Additionally, payments giant Visa plans to create a platform enabling credit card users to directly deposit cash-back rewards into Trump Accounts, as stated by the president.

The presence of several technology and finance executives at the event underscored what Trump described as increasing corporate backing. He acknowledged individuals like Vlad Tenev of Robinhood, Anthony Noto of SoFi Technologies, and Arjun Sethi of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.

Significant private donations were also highlighted, with Trump commending Michael and Susan Dell for their commitment of $6.25 billion to fund Trump Accounts for millions of children, calling it one of the largest private contributions ever recorded.

Investor Brad Gerstner and hedge fund manager Ray Dalio were also mentioned as proponents.

Trump noted that Dalio has pledged support for accounts statewide, while Gerstner has committed tens of millions in matching contributions.

Trump depicted the initiative as a transformative move towards ownership and market engagement, asserting it would link families directly to economic growth. He remarked that children would witness their accounts grow alongside the stock market.

“They can directly observe the economic surge that’s unfolding,” Trump stated.

The president characterized this effort as part of a broader economic philosophy focused on growth, private investment, and capital influx. He opined that tax reductions, deregulation, and trade pressures have unlocked investment potential at an unprecedented scale.

“I didn’t anticipate it would progress so swiftly,” Trump noted.

For global investors and technology sectors, Trump’s comments delivered a clear message—the US is poised to competitively pursue capital, manufacturing, and innovation. “America is back,” he concluded.
