Apple has announced plans to increase its U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years, a move that will expand domestic manufacturing and supply chain operations. The announcement was made by President Donald J. Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook, who appeared together to discuss the company’s new commitment.
The expanded investment includes the launch of an American Manufacturing Program, which aims to encourage Apple’s suppliers and partners to accelerate their own domestic manufacturing efforts. According to Apple, this initiative is expected to directly create 20,000 new jobs in the United States and support thousands more through its network of suppliers.
President Trump commented on the shift toward domestic production: “For years, Americans have watched as many of our leading tech giants built their factories overseas and exported American jobs abroad — but under the Trump Administration, we’re doing everything possible to make this the best place on earth to build a factory or grow businesses.”
Apple CEO Tim Cook reaffirmed the company’s focus on U.S.-based innovation: “We’re going to keep making investments right here in America, we’re going to keep hiring in America, and we’re going to keep building technologies at the heart of our products right here in America because we’re a proud American company, and we believe deeply in the promise of this great nation. Thank you, President Trump, for putting American innovation and American jobs front and center.”
