TRUMP: ‘AMERICA IS ROARING BACK AND NOW IS THE TIME TO INVEST’

President Trump told the World Economic Forum that America's economy is "roaring back" and called on the gathered business leaders to invest in America's growth.

"America is roaring back and now is the time to invest a future of America," Trump said. [Video] "We have dramatically cut taxes to make America competitive. We are eliminating burdensome regulations at a record pace. We are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean."

"Over the past year, we have made extraordinary strides in the U.S," he said. "Where lifting up forgotten communities creating exciting new opportunities and helping every American find their path to the American dream. The dream of a great job a safe home and a better life for their children. After years of stagnation, the United States is once again experiencing strong economic growth."

His speech began by highlighting record low Hispanic and black unemployment rates.

"Since my election we've created 2.4 million jobs and that number is going up very, very substantially," he said. [Video] "Small business optimism is at an all-time high. New unemployment claims are near the lowest we've seen in almost half a century. African-American unemployment reached the lowest rate ever recorded in the United States and so has unemployment among Hispanic-Americans."
