Trump announces $100 billion SoftBank investment to create 100,000 jobs in US
President-elect Donald Trump announced a $100 billion investment from SoftBank, aimed at creating 100,000 jobs in artificial intelligence and infrastructure over the next four years. This investment is expected to boost the U.S. economy. The announcement took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, where he praised SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son. This investment follows a previous $50 billion commitment from SoftBank in 2016, shortly after Trump's first election. Details on how SoftBank will fund this new investment are not yet clear. The commitment aligns with Trump's economic strategy for his upcoming term, which begins on January 20.
