Apple 'Forced To Kiss The Ring'? Expert Questions Whether Trump Pushed The iPhone Maker For $500 Billion Investment

Apple's recent announcement of a $500 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years has raised eyebrows, with some experts questioning whether President Trump exerted pressure on the tech giant to secure the massive commitment. The investment, which includes plans to create 20,000 new jobs and open a new server manufacturing facility in Texas, comes after a meeting between Apple CEO Tim Cook and Trump.



While Apple has not explicitly stated that Trump pressured the company into making the investment, some experts have suggested that the timing and nature of the announcement may indicate that the president played a role in the decision. "It's no secret that Trump has been pushing for more U.S. manufacturing and job creation, and Apple's announcement seems to align with that agenda," said one industry analyst, who wished to remain anonymous.
