Yesterday, President Donald J. Trump joined Apple CEO Tim Cook to announce the company will increase its U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years as it brings additional components of its supply chain and advanced manufacturing back home. Apple's investment includes a new American Manufacturing Program to incentivize its suppliers and partners to join them in accelerating domestic manufacturing - directly creating 20,000 new American jobs and many thousands more across its suppliers.
"For years, Americans have watched as many of our leading tech giants built their factories overseas and exported American jobs abroad - but under the Trump Administration, we're doing everything possible to make this the best place on earth to build a factory or grow businesses," said President Trump.
"We're going to keep making investments right here in America, we're going to keep hiring in America, and we're going to keep building technologies at the heart of our products right here in America because we're a proud American company, and we believe deeply in the promise of this great nation. Thank you, President Trump, for putting American innovation and American jobs front and center," said Mr. Cook.
