Apple's announcement comes after President Donald Trump said he met with the company's CEO Tim Cook
Apple is committing $500 billion to the U.S. economy in a historic initiative, the company announced on Monday, marking "an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation."
Apple's 11-figure commitment will roll out over the next five years. It will involve building an advanced AI server manufacturing factory near Houston, as well as doubling the company's Advanced Manufacturing Fund from $5 billion to $10 billion.
The tech giant also plans to establish an Apple Manufacturing Academy in Detroit, as well as hire 20,000 new employees with focuses on research and development, silicon engineering, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
"This new pledge builds on Apple’s long history of investing in American innovation and advanced high-skilled manufacturing, and will support a wide range of initiatives that focus on artificial intelligence, silicon engineering, and skills development for students and workers across the country," the company said in a statement.
Apple also plans to expand teams and facilities in numerous states, including Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina and Washington. In a statement, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that his company is "bullish on the future of American innovation."

"We're proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future," his statement added. "From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing." "And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation." The announcement comes two days after President Donald Trump alluded to the tech giant's plans, saying that the company planned to invest "hundreds of billions of dollars" in the United States. "Yesterday I had Tim Cook in the office from Apple. He's investing hundreds of billions of dollars," Trump said at a White House gathering on Friday. "That's what he told me. Now he has to do it."

Daily reminder: if you live in the US and you're not rooting for American success and prosperity because of the President in current year, you're kind of an enemy within, in a manner of speaking.

>>1386708 The current president is literally destroying the country, more and more each day. The only thing he's "fixing" is breaks for billionaires and deregulation so they can fuck you until you can't afford to live.

>>1386734 Actually, I was half-right. This has actually been in the works since 2018, then it got paused, then it got in the works AGAIN in 2021.
>https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/01/apple-accelerates-us-investment-and-job-creation/ >https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/04/apple-commits-430-billion-in-us-investments-over-five-years/ This actually makes me have even less faith. They've promised this TWICE now and both times they wound up pausing it and re-announcing it later like they started from scratch. But hey, third time's the charm... maybe?
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we just hear this got paused again and then they make another announcement after the next election.

>>1386755 Anon I don't know why you're rejecting that Apple promised Trump AND Biden during their terms they'd make massive investments in the US that didn't come into being at all. They literally already did this with Trump by promising 350 billion into the US economy over 5 years, then after not doing anything major promised Biden 430 billion over the next 5 years, and still didn't do anything major other than construction of a campus in NC that they paused last year. Now they're promising Trump 500 billion in, you fucking guessed it, the next five years. And I'm guessing once again they're not going to actually live up to that promise.

>>1386749 >tariff wars Threats that already led to great results. No tariffs actually went into effect with allies yet kek
>cozying up to dictators You're really only referring to Putin here, and he's trying to settle the war and made progress. million times more than the previous admin. If the war ends by the first SOTU address you should hang yourself.
>dismantling the US government this is a fanfic dems invented. Democrats have stacked the power of the Executive for a century since Wilson, yet get pissed when Trump uses it. Democrats, for decades, have created unelected agencies answerable to no one to waste money and further crap, yet get mad when Trump uses the same capability to cut away at costs they themselves created.
>b-but he's unaccountable! Like every government employee ever?
>he's literally destroying the country, more and more each day Explain how. This is scaremongering slop
>breaks for billionaires and deregulation Oh, so you're a pseudo who thinks the world is a zero sum game. When incentives are set up for business to move to America, taxes bring in more revenue despite bing a lower rate because more money is taxable in the country. Sorry you fell for the bullshit class warfare meme of luigi
"not being able to afford to live" was the reality under Biden, not Trump. Can't want for the economic improvements to somehow make you kill yourself in disgrace

He's literally asking for half Ukraine's national resources and they don't even get a security guarantee. Meanwhile Russia... keeps everything they gained and has to surrender nothing. The fucking Treaty of Versailles was more fair to the Germans than this is to Ukraine.

Surely there won't be any long term repercussions from our two political parties having this sort of relationship.

Biden probably personally called Apple and told him Obama said. "Those jobs aren't coming back, so they better not fucking come back!"
