Apple to Invest $100B More in U.S. Manufacturing

Apple has announced a new $100 billion investment to expand U.S. manufacturing and supply chain operations, raising its planned U.S. investment to $600 billion over four years. The move follows pressure from President Donald Trump, who threatened tariffs on Apple products made outside the U.S., particularly those assembled in India. Apple’s new American Manufacturing Program seeks to reshore critical component production, create 20,000 new domestic jobs, and address economic and national security concerns. The company faces challenges in duplicating its Asian supply chain but is responding to escalating U.S.-India and U.S.-China tensions. White House officials have called the investment a victory for the America First agenda, while concerns have emerged in Ireland about Apple’s shifting commitments. Apple shares rose following the announcement, reflecting positive market sentiment.
