top foreign investor in the US

Ishiba also addressed the president’s economic priorities by pledging to increase Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) in the US from $800 billion to $1 trillion. Japan is already the top foreign investor in the US and supports nearly one million American jobs, with more than half (529,000) in manufacturing and industry. Trump and his chief cabinet picks, such as Secretary of Commerce–designate Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative–designate Jamieson Greer, have expressed a desire for the US to become a “country of producers.” Initiatives such as Fujifilm’s pharmaceutical facility in North Carolina, Toray’s carbon fiber facility in South Carolina, and Masayoshi Son’s pledge to invest $100 billion in the Stargate AI project demonstrate Japan’s commitment to strengthening American manufacturing and unleashing the potential of American workers. สล็อต
