The claim is true if the enacted tax law includes a ten-year period permitting immediate or accelerated full expensing of qualifying capital investments as described.

Source summary
President Trump spoke at a reception of business leaders held around the World Economic Forum, praising the U.S. economy, investment inflows, and his administration's policies. He credited tariffs and tax changes for encouraging corporate investment (citing Apple and Toyota), argued that immigration enforcement and law enforcement have improved public safety in U.S. cities, and said his administration had ended "eight wars" while describing ongoing international casualties. He also described tax rules that allow accelerated write-offs, discussed workforce automation (robots), and thanked those working on various policy issues.
Latest fact check

The claim describes a ten-year window to fully expense a new investment. In reality, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property placed in service after January 19, 2025, allowing a full first-year deduction in many cases, not a ten-year write-off. The cited framing misrepresents the current law, though the underlying point about 100% first-year expensing is supported by recent IRS guidance.
