Trump says he's attracted $7 trillion in private investments into the US: 'Never seen anything like it'

President Donald Trump said he has attracted over $7 trillion in private investment since being elected, from companies like Apple, Eli Lilly, and Stargate, as well as countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Japan.

Trump spoke to reporters on Wednesday after he signed a round of executive orders, when he was asked about procuring a record amount of private sector investments totaling $7 trillion.

"We have, I would say, more than $7 trillion now…of investments coming in," Trump said.
