President-elect Donald Trump announced that SoftBank will invest $100 billion in the United States over the next four years, potentially creating 100,000 jobs in AI.
Trump described the commitment as evidence of "monumental confidence in America's future." He encouraged SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son to increase the investment pledge to $200 billion.
The previous $50 billion commitment made by Son to create 50,000 jobs was fulfilled, though the actual job creation remains uncertain amid SoftBank's financial restructuring.
Trump's administration has a history of promising significant job creation through investments, but similar past promises have not always materialized or delivered on job expectations.
