In early April 2025, President Trump touted a record $7 trillion in new investment commitments flowing into the United States​. This staggering figure reflects a wave of officially announced, multi-year projects across industries – from cutting-edge semiconductor fabs and AI data centers to new pharmaceutical plants, energy facilities, and manufacturing hubs.

The total includes massive corporate expansions (e.g. Apple’s unprecedented $500 billion U.S. investment plan) as well as strategic foreign pledges (such as a 10-year, $1.4 trillion framework by the UAE). Below is a list of public investment commitments announced to date in 2025, including their scope, sector, and scale. These represent only documented announcements (no speculative deals) and highlight multi-year investments spanning technology, energy, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, AI infrastructure, shipping/logistics, rail, and more. 

The investments listed below reflect new commitments announced in 2025 and do not include existing multi-year initiatives that will still affect labor, supply chains, and other resource demands (ie. $4.4B Honda & LG Chem multi-year commitment announced in 2022 still under construction, $65B TSMC, etc )

The program aims to facilitate and accelerate investments above $1 billion in the United States by assisting investors as they navigate U.S. government regulatory processes efficiently, reducing regulatory burdens where consistent with applicable law, increasing access to and use of national resources where appropriate, facilitating research collaborations with national labs, and working with state governments in all 50 states to reduce regulatory barriers to, and increase, domestic and foreign investment in the United States. While specific commitments are not fully itemized, the program is projected to unlock an additional $1.5–2 trillion in near-term investments from global and domestic firms across infrastructure, energy, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing.
