Tim Cook Joins Trump to Reveal Record-Breaking Apple Deal
Apple has announced a massive $100 billion increase in its U.S. investment plans, bringing its total to $600 billion over the next four years.
The announcement was made by President Donald Trump alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Oval Office. Trump called it “the largest investment Apple has ever made in America,” adding that the move is part of a broader effort to encourage major U.S. companies to return manufacturing operations to American soil.
Apple’s expanded pledge includes building a state-of-the-art glass plant in Kentucky, a 250,000-square-foot server facility in Houston, and multiple data centers across states like North Carolina, Iowa, and Oregon.
The company says the initiative will directly create over 20,000 new jobs and support thousands more across its supplier network, including firms like Broadcom, Corning, and Samsung.
While Apple emphasized its growing U.S.-based supply chain, CEO Tim Cook clarified that full iPhone assembly will still remain overseas “for a while.” Nonetheless, the announcement is being seen as a major win for Trump’s “America First” economic agenda, aimed at reshoring jobs and boosting domestic production in tech and manufacturing.
