A claim was made that nearly $17 trillion in foreign investment is coming into the United States, nearly equaling China’s 2024 GDP. The claim linked the influx to tariffs and framed the economy as the strongest and richest.

We've taken in, almost $17 trillion of investment is coming in. Most of it is coming because of tariffs, Trump added, continuing: And if for some reason Uh Somebody wanted to be politically correct, I actually think it's un-politically correct. I think politically correct is to approve it because there's nothing so popular as what's happened to our country. Our country is doing so well, but uh
