Investment commitments in U.S. nears $3 trillion since Trump took office

Investing.com -- The list of companies and countries investing in the U.S. as part of President Donald Trump’s push to reshore manufacturing continues to grow.

On Monday, the Trump administration added Hyundai (OTC: HYMTF) to the list, with the conglomerate planning to announce a $20 billion U.S. investment. The South Korean company’s reported plan includes the construction of a $5 billion steel plant in Louisiana. The onshoring operation from Hyundai is expected to create 1,500 jobs.

Last week, AI chip giant NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) announced an investment of over $100 billion in the U.S., and pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced a more than $55 billion investment.

Trump calls it the “Golden Age of America.”

“More investments, more jobs, and more money in the pockets of hardworking Americans – all thanks to President Trump’s economic policies,” U.S. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X today. “President Trump is Making America Wealthy Again.”

The total size of the announced investments since Trump took office on January 20, 2025, is just over $2.8 trillion.

The list of companies and countries investing in the U.S. based on the size of commitment is noted below:

UAE - $1.4 trillion
Saudi Arabia - $600 billion
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) - $500 billion
NVIDIA - $100 billion
Softbank/OpenAi/Oracle (as part of Stargate) - $100 billion
Taiwan Semiconductor - $100 billion
Johnson & Johnson - $55 billion
Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) - $27 billion
CMA CGM Group - $20 billion
Merck (NYSE: MRK) - $1 billion
GE Aerospace - $1 billion

That's all good by me as long as the foreign investments are limited to profit sharing or dividends and not in owndership of any American resources (land, real estate, minerals, etc). Anything that has a finite supply should be for american ownership only. It bugs the shit out of me that we let China get miles ahead of us in rare earth minerals.

Exxon investing $100 million in facility to produce cleaning alcohol for chip industry

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil said on Wednesday it will spend $100 million to upgrade its Baton Rouge, Louisiana, chemical plant to produce a highly pure form of isopropyl alcohol that is used in the tech industry to clean and process microchips.
