Sol Trujillo on CNBC’s Squawk Box on Velocity’s Opening Day

Just hours before Velocity Day 1 kicks off, Velocity’s founder, Sol Trujillo, joined CNBC’s Squawk Box live to unveil Part 2 of the Official LDC U.S. Latino 2025 GDP Report. Trujillo spotlighted the fastest-growing and most future-forward force in the U.S. economy — U.S. Latinos.

“At the end of the day, the economy works two-thirds based on consumption. We have a cohort here, the US Latino Cohort, that’s driving much of that growth, and it’s youthful, and only going to get bigger for the next two to three decades.” – Sol Trujillo

Part 1 of the report, released during Sol’s appearance on Squawk Box earlier this summer, made headlines with a striking figure: the U.S. Latino GDP has reached $4.1 trillion — large enough to rank as the world’s 5th biggest economy, ahead of the UK and France, and on par with India. Part 2 takes the analysis further, breaking down growth across states and sectors.
