Since President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, his push to revive American industry has unleashed a flood of over $3 trillion in U.S. investments, fueling job creation and innovation. Major players like Softbank, OpenAI, and Oracle are driving Project Stargate with a $500 billion commitment to AI infrastructure, while Apple and NVIDIA match that with $500 billion each for manufacturing and AI supercomputers. TSMC’s $100 billion chipmaking investment and Johnson & Johnson’s $55 billion in manufacturing and R&D highlight the pharmaceutical surge, alongside Roche ($50 billion) and Eli Lilly ($27 billion). Foreign investors are also pouring in: the UAE’s ADQ and DAMAC Properties are investing $25 billion and $20 billion in data centers, respectively, while Saudi Arabia and Japan pledge $600 billion and $1 trillion. From Hyundai’s $21 billion steel plant in Louisiana to smaller ventures like Guardian Bikes’ $19 million bicycle factory, these projects are set to create hundreds of thousands of jobs nationwide.
