Apple CEO Tim Cook has committed to building more in the US, investing $100 billion in the country. This move comes after the White House announced a deal for Apple to invest in US manufacturing and create jobs. The investment is part of a broader effort to boost domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced a significant increase in the company's investment in the United States, committing an additional $100 billion to domestic manufacturing. This move comes on the heels of a White House announcement detailing a deal for Apple to invest in US manufacturing and create jobs. The investment is part of a broader effort to boost domestic production and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.

The new investment, which brings Apple's total commitment to $600 billion over the next four years, includes a new manufacturing program called the American Manufacturing Program (AMP). The program aims to bring more of Apple's supply chain and advanced manufacturing to the US. Cook stated, "Today, we’re proud to increase our investments across the United States to $600 billion over four years and launch our new American Manufacturing Program" [3].

AMP will involve collaborations with 10 companies across the US that produce components used in Apple products. The first AMP partners include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor, and Broadcom. Apple has also committed to hiring 20,000 people in the US over the next four years, focusing on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning [3].

The announcement comes amidst ongoing tensions with the Trump administration over trade policies. Trump has criticized Apple for shifting iPhone production to India to avoid tariffs, and the White House has threatened tariffs on semiconductor chips. Apple has previously announced plans to spend $500 billion in the US over the next four years, including a new server manufacturing facility in Houston and a supplier academy in Michigan [2].

This latest investment is part of a broader trend of companies increasing their US presence under the Trump administration. Earlier this year, Trump announced a $100 billion investment in AI data centers from Oracle Corp., SoftBank Group Corp., and OpenAI Inc., with a goal of increasing the total to at least $500 billion [2].

Apple's stock price spiked upward by over 5% on Wednesday following the announcement, indicating investor confidence in the company's commitment to domestic manufacturing [1].
