The White House said on October 8, 2026, that President Donald J. Trump had secured investment commitments spanning steel, nuclear energy, natural gas, shipbuilding, and medical manufacturing, all within a matter of weeks.
The commitments are intended to hire American workers, the White House said, framing the investments as fulfillment of a promise to workers in communities it described as having been left behind by Washington.
The stated goal, according to the White House, is to build and power industry inside the United States.
