AAPL--
The White House has indicated that Apple will make this significant investment, which comes amid a series of financial pledges from companies and countries under President Trump's administration. White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett hinted at the upcoming announcement during an interview with Fox Business Network, stating, "They're moving here in droves. This is trillions and trillions of dollars of commitments for people to build new factories here. In fact, you're likely to see one today from Apple" [2].
Earlier in May, Apple announced a $500 billion investment plan for the U.S. over the next four years, which includes the construction of a giant factory in Texas for artificial intelligence servers and the creation of about 20,000 research and development jobs across the country [1]. The new $100 billion commitment could further solidify Apple's presence in the U.S. and potentially create additional jobs and infrastructure investments.
The timing of this announcement coincides with ongoing trade tensions and tariff threats from the U.S. government. In May, President Trump threatened Apple with a 25% tariff on iPhones not made in the U.S. [1]. This latest investment commitment may be Apple's response to these trade pressures and an effort to secure a more favorable trade environment.
Investors are closely watching the details of the announcement, as it could have significant implications for Apple's operations and future growth prospects. The increase in Apple's stock price during pre-market trading reflects the market's anticipation of the positive impact this investment could have on the company's financial performance.
