What was said

"Our country today is doing better than it's ever done before. Never had anything like it. With, as of last week, $19.2 trillion pouring into the United States right now from all over the world. That's the investments being made. And the record was three. Four years. In four years, the last administration did much less than one. And we did 19.2 in 12 months."

President Trump claimed a record $19.2 trillion in foreign investment has flowed into the United States in just 12 months, attributing the surge to his election victory and tariff policies. He contrasted this with what he said was less than $1 trillion during the previous administration's four years. Trump said factories and plants are being built at unprecedented rates across America.
