Trump claims US secured $21 trillion in investments

US president criticises public attitude towards his work

Donald Trump, who holds the office of head of state, expressed the view that Americans do not fully appreciate the scale of his achievements. Among his main successes, he cited attracting $21 trillion in investments to the country.

Record capital volumes and comparison with the Asian giant

“Я б сказав, ніхто не цінує того, наскільки я чудовий президент. Я кажу, що ніхто не цінує того, що завдяки мені в нашу країну інвестували 21 трильйон доларів, а попередній рекорд належав іншій країні — Китаю — десять років тому” (I would say no one appreciates how great a president I am. I am saying that no one appreciates that thanks to me, $21 trillion was invested in our country, and the previous record belonged to another country — China — ten years ago), Trump emphasised.

According to the president, attracting such a sum of funds is a historic achievement that surpasses the best figure recorded in China a decade ago.

Verification of the cited data

It is worth noting that the figures cited are the president's own claim. At present, there are no independent sources that would allow confirming the exact amount of investments, as well as objectively comparing current US indicators with China's historical data.
