Florida(The COW News Digital) Former US President Donald Trump has claimed that the American economy was “lifeless” a year ago but was revived through foreign investment generated by his overseas visits. Speaking at an event in Florida, Trump said his international engagements played a key role in restoring investor confidence in the United States.
Addressing supporters, Trump stated that during his visits to countries including the United Arab Emirates, major investment commitments were secured for the US economy. He highlighted Saudi Arabia’s announcement of $2 trillion in investment in the United States, describing it as something that would have been unimaginable just a year earlier. According to Trump, these developments signaled renewed global trust in the American market.
Trump also reiterated his hardline stance on immigration, claiming that over the past eight months, no illegal immigrants had entered the country. He said his policies effectively blocked unlawful crossings and accused previous administrations of allowing criminals, murderers, and individuals from mental health institutions to enter the US. His remarks were met with applause from the audience.
On foreign policy, Trump alleged that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro committed crimes against the United States and said actions were taken under his “America First” vision. He further claimed that Iran’s nuclear enrichment capability had been eliminated, though he did not provide details to support the assertion.
The former president also once again referred to his role in de-escalating international conflicts. Trump said he helped stop eight wars, including a potential conflict between Pakistan and India. He claimed that the Pakistani prime minister had credited him with saving millions of lives, adding that such remarks were an “honor” for him.
Trump’s comments come amid ongoing debates over the state of the US economy, immigration enforcement, and America’s role on the global stage. While his supporters praise his assertive policies and diplomatic outreach, critics continue to question the accuracy of his claims and the long-term impact of his decisions.
Analysts note that foreign investment trends are influenced by multiple factors, including global market conditions and domestic economic policies. Nevertheless, Trump maintains that his leadership and international engagement were central to reversing what he described as a period of economic stagnation.
As the political landscape remains deeply divided, Trump’s statements are likely to fuel further discussion ahead of upcoming political developments in the United States.
