Apple Announces Unprecedented Investment in the United States

Apple has announced plans to inject an additional $100 billion in investment within the United States, bringing its total planned investments over the next four years to $600 billion, according to a senior White House official on Wednesday, August 6.

The decision will be officially unveiled during an event at the White House attended by President Donald Trump, after the news was previously circulated by American media outlets.

It is worth noting that Apple had already announced in February a plan to invest over $500 billion in the U.S., with a promise to create 20,000 jobs—a move that Trump highlighted as evidence of the success of his economic policies.

The company, headquartered in Silicon Valley, confirmed that this commitment represents the largest financial investment in its history, at a time when tech companies are engaged in fierce competition for leadership in the field of artificial intelligence.

This move is part of Apple’s broader plan announced in 2021, in which it pledged to invest $430 billion and create 20,000 new jobs over five years.

Trump, who has pushed for boosting domestic manufacturing by imposing tariffs on imports, praised his administration and credited its policies for the growth in investment.

On the financial front, Apple reported a quarterly profit of $23.4 billion at the end of July, surpassing analysts’ expectations despite incurring additional costs due to tariffs imposed by the U.S. administration.

It’s important to note that tariffs are taxes imposed on companies importing goods into the United States, meaning Apple bears these costs on its iPhones and other imported products and components.
