SoftBank Group Corp. CEO Masayoshi Son has announced a significant investment plan in the United States, committing to invest $500 billion over the next four years. This decision was influenced by President Donald Trump, who encouraged Son to increase his initial investment proposal from $100 billion to $200 billion, which Son has now escalated to $500 billion. The investment is aimed at fostering what Son described as 'the beginning of the Golden Age of America,' a sentiment he reiterated during his announcement at the White House. The funds will be directed towards AI infrastructure.
