As part of a major White House initiative marking his first 100 days in office, President Donald Trump is preparing to host a high-profile event titled Investing in America, with a focus on showcasing a wave of corporate investments across the United States. 

Scheduled for Wednesday, the gathering will bring together top executives from more than two dozen multinational firms, including tech giant Nvidia, healthcare leader Johnson & Johnson, and auto manufacturers Hyundai, Toyota, and SoftBank Group, reported Reuters citing officials.

The event aims to spotlight commitments across sectors such as defense, healthcare, technology, consumer products, and investment funds. A White House official told the news agency that Trump intends to use the platform to reaffirm his administration’s push to bring more manufacturing and investment back to American soil.

Tariff Reforms and Domestic Manufacturing Drive

Despite ongoing tensions triggered by Trump’s trade policies and tariff implementations, the administration is taking steps to ease pressure on industries heavily impacted by these measures. On Tuesday, the White House is expected to roll out a new policy aimed at mitigating the cost burden associated with auto tariffs. The proposal will include exemptions for foreign-manufactured components used in vehicles assembled domestically and prevent compounded levies by streamlining overlapping duties.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also emphasized the strategic intent behind the changes, noting, “President Trump is building an important partnership with both the domestic automakers and our great American workers.”

Renewed Corporate Interest Amid Policy Shifts

The White House has cited substantial investment pledges from companies such as Apple, Roche, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), stating these moves “demonstrate resounding confidence in the US economy and dollar under this administration.” Meanwhile, Trump noted that General Motors is reportedly considering a significant $60 billion investment in US operations.

Nonetheless, some corporations have signalled that they are waiting for further clarity on trade regulations before finalising new investments.
