View on XMasayoshi Son said that since Trump's election win, his “confidence level” in the United States economy has “tremendously increased,” leading him to make the investment decision. Additionally, he said that he is hopeful that Trump will be able to “bring the world into peace again” during the President-elect's second term.
The two spoke of the CEO, “doubling down” on the investment, possibly referring to Softbank’s 2016 pledge of $50 billion to the United States and goal of creating 50,000 jobs. Trump joked with him that Softbank could go four times the amount, and invest $200 billion.
"Any person or company investing ONE BILLION DOLLARS, OR MORE, in the United States of America, will receive fully expedited approvals and permits, including, but in no way limited to, all Environmental approvals. GET READY TO ROCK," Trump recently declared.
