US President Donald Trump says $12 trillion worth of business investment has been committed on his watch.

He says it is too early in Trump 's tenure to have clear data to evaluate his claims.

But other anecdotal and survey evidence indicates that Trump 's impact on investment is far more incremental than he has claimed.

Some of the projects included in the sum were already in the works.

Pharmaceutical firms plan to plan more manufacturing in the US , a key source of sector profits.

But there are limits to what the threats can accomplish, says ING 's Stephen Farrelly .

Mr Farrelly also warned that the sector's investments may be at risk over the long term.
