WASHINGTON, D.C. (WDNews) – President Donald Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced Thursday that Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. operations, bringing the company’s total domestic investment to $600 billion over the next four years.
The investment includes a major expansion of Apple’s manufacturing footprint, with plans for new factories, AI infrastructure and a nationwide supply chain push. Cook said the initiative would create 20,000 new American jobs, in addition to thousands more through suppliers such as Corning, Broadcom and Texas Instruments.
The new commitment is part of Apple’s “American Manufacturing Program,” which will include:
- 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
President Trump praised Apple’s announcement, calling it “the largest investment Apple has ever made anywhere in the world,” and credited the company’s shift to U.S. manufacturing to recent legislation, including what he called the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes tax breaks on American-made goods and overtime pay.
“We want them to come home. They have to come home. And we’re going to treat them really well,” Trump said. “We’re putting a 100% tariff on chips and semiconductors made outside the U.S. But if you’re building in America, there’s no charge.”
Tim Cook said Apple took the President’s challenge seriously and responded with a renewed commitment to grow its U.S. presence.
“Every single new iPhone and Apple Watch sold worldwide will soon contain cover glass made in Kentucky,” Cook said. “We’re a proud American company and believe deeply in the promise of this great nation.”
