ANALYSIS — Japan-based SoftBank Group intends to spend $100 billion on projects in the United States during his second term, President-elect Donald Trump said Monday, making it the first company to respond to his offer to trade massive investments for expedited permits.
The announcement came at the start of a wide-ranging news conference at Mar-a-Lago during which Trump also made bold promises and slammed outgoing President Joe Biden, while issuing warnings for Hamas and contending that Turkey, an American ally and NATO member, was behind the ouster of Syria’s former leader.
In short, what might be dubbed “The Trump Show” was back, just over a month before he is scheduled to return to the White House.
