Foreign powers and U.S.-based corporations are fueling an investment boom as President Donald Trump drives a renewed focus on domestic manufacturing and high-tech infrastructure. Major players from both sectors have pledged multi-trillion dollar commitments aimed at reviving American industry.
The United Arab Emirates made headlines with a $1.4 trillion investment plan following high-level meetings in Washington. UAE national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed met with Trump and later joined Vice President JD Vance for a dinner attended by top Emirati business leaders. The agreement targets artificial intelligence, semiconductor development, energy and U.S. manufacturing.

Nvidia has also pledged to invest hundreds of billions in U.S.-based chip production. These moves reflect widespread corporate support for Trump’s push to make the country a global hub for next-generation technologies.
Trump has also imposed 25% tariffs on imported aluminum and steel, including from longtime trade partners such as Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The U.S. remains the world’s top consumer of steel, according to the Department of Commerce.
