President Trump has made increasingly sweeping claims about new investments flowing into the United States, citing figures as high as $21 trillion since taking office. "Twenty-one trillion dollars will be the amount invested in the United States " or committed to invest " in one year," the president said in a November meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In an Oval Office event this Wednesday, President Trump said, "In 10 months, we have $18 trillion being invested." But a CBS News review found no evidence that total commitments or new investments approach the scale the president has cited. While companies and foreign governments have announced large-scale projects since Mr. Trump's inauguration, the White House has not provided documentation showing total investments approaching $21 trillion " an amount roughly two-thirds of the annual GDP. |
