Apple plans to invest $500 billion in the United States during President Donald Trump’s second term, the company announced.
The company’s pledge “builds on Apple’s long history of investing in American innovation and advanced high-skilled manufacturing, and will support a wide range of initiatives that focus on artificial intelligence, silicon engineering, and skills development for students and workers across the country,” a news release says.
Apple will develop a new factory in Houston, Texas, and expand its operations in Michigan, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington. The Houston location will host a 50,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility to open in 2026.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, said in a statement that the company is “bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future.” He noted, “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”
Apple currently manufactures silicon in 24 factories across 12 states. The silicon is “designed to bring Apple users incredible features, performance, and power efficiency across their devices,” the company described. Such facilities “help create thousands of high-paying jobs across the country at U.S. companies like Broadcom, Texas Instruments, Skyworks, and Qorvo.”
Trump responded to Apple’s announcement on Truth Social, writing that the company’s pledge represents “faith in what we are doing.”
Cook previously donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.
