President Donald Trump used a New Year's Eve message to brag about his tariff policies without any evidence to back up his claims.

"The United States has set a World Record on investments being made into a Country, and it is Trillions of Dollars more than number two, China," the president wrote on Wednesday. "This is singularly because of TARIFFS, and the fact that if you make your product in the U.S., there ARE NO TARIFFS."

"Hence, factories and businesses are being built all over our Country - At a level never seen before. Congrats to the USA on this incredible achievement!!!" he added.
