Well there is some reason he is the richest person in Australia. I would not turn his business down.

Money is pouring into our country. 305 Billion was repatriated in Q1 alone. I think that number will be higher in Q2. Great economic atmosphere in the US!

Australia's richest person wants to double America's food production
Pratt Industries Executive Chairman Anthony Pratt on his investments in the U.S. and U.S. trade tensions with China.

Anthony Pratt, the richest person in Australia, will be investing nearly $2 billion in the U.S. in hopes of creating new jobs and doubling American food production – and he credits it all to President Trump’s business-friendly Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.


Great news.

Do you realize how far $2 billion goes in todays business world ? It is chump change. Maybe 20 years ago, but that money will not make a dent in getting anything really accomplished.

Companies are bought and sold every day for figures way beyond that.

He is the same guy who said ...before the election...he was on a campaign to create a billion jobs. Glad to see he is sticking to his plan announced in 2016

Hell, Trump could write a check for that (if he's as rich as he claims).

Billion jobs? Well we will definitely need more immigrants.

Yeah, we'd have to import India.

One thing is certain -- Regardless of what he does, the left and media will blame Trump for something (... "oh no, Trump is selling America to the Australians!")

He led his company from $100 million annual revenue to $3 billion in 15 years. Sounds like he may have just a bit more business sense than the average forum poster. I'm looking forward to how his investment pledge comes to fruition.

If money is the barometer for wisdom then why does Trump attack Bezos?

Sorry but we have seen way too many companies saying how they NOW will invest in America while they had those plans prior to Trump. Just a PR stunt.
