Key Takeaways
- Record-Breaking Investment: Apple will pour an additional $100 billion into U.S. manufacturing over the next four years, building on its earlier $500 billion commitment — the largest domestic investment in the company’s history.
- America First in Action: President Trump’s push to bring jobs and production back home is paying off, with Apple partnering with 10 U.S. companies, including a $2.5 billion deal with Corning to make all iPhone and Apple Watch glass in Kentucky.
- Economic & Strategic Win: The investment strengthens America’s manufacturing base, reduces reliance on foreign production, and supports national security while creating thousands of high-paying U.S. jobs.
Apple is making a massive Made-in-America pledge — and President Trump is taking a victory lap.
In a high-profile White House meeting last Wednesday, Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook announced a staggering $100 billion boost to U.S. manufacturing over the next four years, on top of the $500 billion Cook committed earlier this year. The move came just hours after Trump slapped a fresh 25% tariff on India, a major iPhone production hub.
“It’s the biggest investment Apple has ever made in America,” Trump said, adding with a grin, “They’re coming home.” The “American Manufacturing Program” will expand Apple’s partnerships with ten U.S. companies, including a $2.5 billion deal with Corning to make 100% of iPhone and Apple Watch glass in Kentucky.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick joined the Oval Office rollout, where Cook credited Trump’s support for Apple’s shift back to U.S. soil. “They produce components that are used in Apple products sold all over the world,” Cook said.
Skeptics warn Apple has made — and paused — big promises before. Still, Trump’s America First agenda has been steadily pressuring the tech giant to decouple from China and keep high-paying jobs stateside.
Apple stock surged 5.1% to $213.28 following the announcement, giving Wall Street another reason to cheer the return of red, white, and blue manufacturing muscle.
This wasn’t just about Apple’s bottom line — it was about restoring America’s industrial backbone, one billion-dollar investment at a time.
