Apple has announced a $600 billion investment in the United States, marking the company’s largest-ever financial commitment to American manufacturing, infrastructure, and job creation.
The announcement was made at the White House, where former President Donald Trump took the stage to share the news. He called the figure historic and emphasized its scale to the audience, saying, “That’s with a B.”
Shortly after, the official White House account posted on X:
Apple to invest $600 BILLION in the United States, the largest investment Apple has ever made in our country. 🇺🇸
— @WhiteHouse
The move is part of a new initiative called the American Manufacturing Program, which aims to significantly expand Apple’s U.S. operations and reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers.

Tim Cook Gives Trump Public Credit
In a rare public statement praising a political figure, Apple CEO Tim Cook directly credited Trump for helping drive the company’s focus back to U.S. manufacturing.
“I’m very proud to say that today, we’re committing an additional $100 billion to the United States,” Cook said.
“This is a huge moment for Apple and for America.”
Cook’s words were seen as a clear signal that Apple sees opportunity and political support for building more of its supply chain inside the United States.
What Apple’s $600 Billion Plan Includes
This multi-year investment touches nearly every part of Apple’s hardware production. The company confirmed the following steps:
- Apple will produce 19 billion chips in the U.S., reinforcing its position in advanced semiconductor design
- All rare-earth magnets used in Apple products will now be sourced from within the United States
- Every new iPhone and Apple Watch sold worldwide will now use cover glass made in Kentucky
- New jobs will be created across Texas, Arizona, and New York, supported by partnerships with companies like Texas Instruments and Broadcom
Apple says these steps will help protect its supply chain, boost local economies, and maintain product quality and security.
Trump Reacts to the Praise
As Tim Cook outlined the new commitments, Trump stood off to the side, nodding in approval. When Cook finished, Trump turned to the crowd and said, “I did that,” prompting a wave of applause.
It was a moment of clear political theater, but also one of policy validation. The scale of Apple’s investment backs Trump’s long-standing call for tech and manufacturing giants to bring jobs and production back to American soil.
A Turning Point for U.S. Tech Manufacturing
This announcement marks a significant shift in Apple’s global operations. It also raises the bar for other U.S. tech companies that rely heavily on overseas manufacturing.
With supply chain security, job creation, and national resilience now front and center, Apple’s $600 billion investment is expected to shape the direction of the U.S. tech economy for years to come.
