President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday a $100 billion investment in the United States by SoftBank.
Speaking from Mar-a-Lago, the 47th president spoke alongside SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son, where they announced SoftBank’s plans to invest $100 billion in the United States over the next four years.
Masayoshi Son said his “confidence level” in the US economy has “tremendously increased with [Trump’s] victory,” adding, “Because of that – I
am committing $100 billion and 100,000 jobs into the United States. This is double of last time… because President Trump is a double-down president.”
Trump said the investment was evidence of “monumental confidence in America’s future.” He playfully encouraged Son to invest $200 billion. Son chuckled and said that he would try.
