WASHINGTON, D.C. (WDNews) — Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Donald Trump announced Thursday that Apple will boost its domestic investment to $600 billion over the next four years by investing an additional $100 billion in U.S. operations.
With plans for new facilities, AI technology, and a nationwide supply chain push, the investment includes a significant expansion of Apple’s production presence. In addition to the thousands of jobs that will be created by suppliers like Corning, Broadcom, and Texas Instruments, Cook predicted that the program would generate 20,000 new jobs in the United States.
The latest pledge is a component of Apple’s American Manufacturing Program, which will consist of:
-
A 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston
-
A state-of-the-art smart glass production line in Kentucky
-
A rare earth recycling line in Mountain Pass, California
-
Expanded semiconductor development across states including Texas, New York, and Arizona
-
New data centers in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, and Nevada
-
An advanced manufacturing academy in Detroit
Described as the biggest investment Apple has ever made anywhere in the world, President Trump praised the company’s announcement and attributed its move to U.S. manufacturing to recent legislation, including what he called the One Big Beautiful Bill, which includes overtime pay and tax breaks on American-made goods.
We’d like them to return home. They must return home. Trump added, “And we’re going to treat them really well.” Chips and semiconductors manufactured outside of the United States will be subject to a 100% tariff. However, there is no fee if you are building in America.
According to Tim Cook, Apple reaffirmed its commitment to expanding its U.S. footprint after taking the President’s challenge seriously.
According to Cook, cover glass manufactured in Kentucky will soon be included in every new iPhone and Apple Watch sold globally. As a proud American business, we firmly believe in the potential of this wonderful country.
