New Delhi, Sept. 9 -- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday (September 8) confirmed that his company plans to invest at least $600 billion in the US through 2028, during a White House dinner with President Donald Trump. He noted that the total investment could rise further if AI progress continues to accelerate.

During the announcement, Zuckerberg said: "Oh gosh, I think it's probably gonna be something like... I don't know, at least 600 billion dollars through 2028."

Trump responded with a laugh: "That's a lot. Thank you, Mark, great to have you."

Shortly after the announcement, a hot-mic moment captured Zuckerberg privately apologizing to Trump:

"Sorry, I wasn't ready. I wasn't sure what number you wanted to go with."
