Apple to Invest Additional $100 Bn in U.S. Amid Trump Pressure

Apple has announced plans to invest an additional $100 bn into the U.S. economy, bringing its total planned investments in the country to $600 bn. The announcement was made on August 6 during CEO Tim Cook’s meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.
Earlier this year, the tech giant had already committed $500 bn in domestic investments. According to Apple, the new funds will be used to expand U.S. manufacturing and reshape existing supply chains. Cook noted that components such as semiconductors and protective glass for iPhones are already being produced at U.S.-based facilities, though final assembly still takes place abroad.
The move comes as part of a growing trend among major U.S. companies responding to Trump’s economic policies, which encourage domestic manufacturing and impose higher tariffs on imports. Other firms have followed suit: IBM has pledged $150 bn, while Nvidia plans to produce $500 bn worth of AI hardware in the coming years.
Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that Microsoft is betting big on the future of artificial intelligence, investing over $100 bn in capital expenditures for the coming year.
