Trump promotes Newt Gingrich column linking Iran deal to economic boom
Trump shared a Gingrich 360 article claiming his Iran diplomacy and $17 trillion in capital projects signal one of the greatest economic booms in American history.
WHITE HOUSE — Donald Trump has mentioned the source (see gingrich360) tying the Iranian agreement to what it calls the Trump economic boom on a Truth Social post on July 5, 2026 at 10:38 AM EST.
Here is the full post on [truthsocial]: “The Iranian Agreement and The Trump Economic Boom: https://www.gingrich360.net/p/the-iranian-agreement-and-the-trump”
The linked article, written by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and published on June 16, 2026, argues that early steps toward a truce with the Iranian government have already lowered gasoline prices and increased stability in the Middle East (see gingrich360). Gingrich wrote that a capital investment boom and a wave of scientific and technological breakthroughs are “rapidly expanding and strengthening the American economy.”
Gingrich contended that Trump has attracted $17 trillion in capital projects and described the president as “the most entrepreneurial president in American history” (see gingrich360). The column also cited the SpaceX initial public offering, claiming nearly 4,500 Americans became millionaires through equity in the company. Gingrich credited Stephen Moore’s Unleash Prosperity Hotline for those figures.
The article acknowledged that critics on both the political right and left have attacked the forthcoming Iran agreement without having seen its full text. Gingrich wrote that the Iranian religious dictatorship proved “more resilient, ruthless, and willing to endure pain than the planners who designed this campaign expected,” but argued that Trump steered a course between what he called the Barack Obama-Joe Biden appeasement model and a strategy requiring a ground invasion (see gingrich360).
The original Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the JCPOA or the Iran nuclear deal, was established in July 2015 among Iran, the United States, and other world powers to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief (see wikipedia.org). The United States withdrew from the JCPOA in 2018 under Trump’s first term, and Iran itself withdrew in 2025 (see wikipedia.org). The new agreement referenced by Gingrich represents a separate diplomatic effort that emerged from 2025-2026 negotiations between Iran and the United States (see cfr.org).
Iran is a nation of roughly 90 million people covering an area comparable to Texas, California, Montana, and Illinois combined, Gingrich noted, arguing that few critics advocate putting ground troops into the country (see gingrich360). The column stated that Trump used American technological advantages in airpower and intelligence to pressure the Iranian government into positions far removed from those it held under prior administrations.
Gingrich also pointed to the upcoming G-7 meeting, predicting world leaders would move toward increased defense spending and participation in sanctions against aggressors, and noted that the United Kingdom recently seized a tanker carrying Russian oil (see gingrich360).
