Trump touts $9 trillion in new U.S. investment. The numbers don't add up.

After President Trump was pressed on rising consumer prices and slowing economic growth, he defended his tariff policies by claiming they had spurred record investment in the United States. 

"I think we probably have close to $9 trillion of investments coming into this country," Mr. Trump said in an interview on NBC's Meet the Press that aired Sunday. "If you look at other presidents, there's never been anything like that."

He has also repeatedly claimed that he secured more investment in his first two months than President Biden did in four years.
