Trump says the US has secured $17 trillion in new investments. The real number is likely much less

- President Donald Trump claims the U.S. has secured $17 trillion in new investments from foreign countries to boost the economy, but this number may be exaggerated according to reports from several sources.
- Only 37% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's handling of the economy, according to a September poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs.

- Trump's tariffs are credited by White House officials for encouraging these investments, with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla supporting this view.
