President Donald Trump touted America’s economic boom at a rally in Wisconsin during the same time as the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington on Saturday, April 27. Trump proclaimed at the rally that: “we’re now the number one economy in the world and it’s not even close” as the crowd began cheering: “USA! USA! USA!”
Trump also celebrated his administration’s accomplishments over the past months and announced before the roaring crowds that upon meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, he was told that Japanese auto manufacturers will be investing up to $40 billion in U.S. manufacturing facilities. The announcement comes as a potential trade deal between Washington and Tokyo is being currently being negotiated. Trump and Abe met for a series of bilateral talks on trade and security on April 26 and 27 in Washington, leading up to a formal meeting in Japan next month and also concerning the upcoming G20 Osaka Summit.
