The United States government secured $17 trillion commitment and money already paid since January this year, President Donald Trump confirmed in New York on Tuesday.
Addressing the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Trump said that the investments overshadow the $1 trillion attracted by the Biden administration in four years.
The president described America as the “hottest country in the world,” with the strongest economy, borders, military, friendships, and the strongest spirit of any territory across the globe.
Trump noted that his administration had succeeded in taking the nation out of the doldrums, evident in the prices of energy, gasoline, mortgage rates, and reduced inflation.
Trump reiterated America’s strength and influence, and credited his efforts for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s increased defense spending, as well as the renewed relations in the Gulf, Asia, and Europe.
On national security, he condemned “the failed experiment of open borders,” and wants every sovereign nation to have the right to control its border to avoid immigrants who recompense kindness with crime.
Trump highlighted the current border feat while citing the statistics showing zero border crossings into the U.S. in recent months, a sharp contrast to the situation witnessed in the past few years.
“Any system that results in the mass trafficking of children is inherently evil,” the president stated. “That is exactly what the globalist migration agenda has done.”
On transnational trade, Trump explained that the United States imposed tariffs on other nations because those that followed the rules now have all their factories plundered.
