“This monumental undertaking is a resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential under a new President,” Trump said. “This is the money that normally would have gone to China or other countries.”

SoftBank’s billionaire CEO Masayoshi Son, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison joined Trump during the announcement at the White House.
