WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said the United States is the “hottest country anywhere in the world” for investment, citing record inflows, tax cuts, and a push into artificial intelligence as key drivers of economic momentum.
Speaking at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Miami, Trump said global investors are increasingly turning to the US amid what he described as a rapid economic turnaround. “The United States right now is the hottest country anywhere in the world by far, ” he said.
He pointed to strong market performance and rising investment levels as evidence of that shift. Trump said the stock market had set dozens of record highs, adding trillions of dollars to savings and retirement accounts.
Trump said the administration had attracted significantly higher investment compared to previous years. “In our first 11 months… we did $18 trillion, ” he said, contrasting it with what he described as lower inflows under the previous administration.
He attributed the surge to policy measures including large tax cuts, deregulation and incentives for manufacturing. Trump highlighted provisions allowing companies to deduct the full cost of factories and equipment in the first year, calling it a major boost for industry.
