Apple to invest another $100 billion into the US to avoid tariffs
Apple plans to invest an additional $100 billion in the US, bringing its total investment to $600 billion over the next four years. This move comes in response to President Trump's announcement of a 100% tariff on chip imports, with an exemption for companies "building in the United States." Apple's investment will expand its American Manufacturing Program, creating more jobs and advanced manufacturing in the US. The company is also deepening its relationships with component makers like Corning and Amkor, who will be producing more products domestically. Additionally, Apple is partnering with Samsung to launch a new chip-making technology in Texas. This investment is likely a strategy to avoid the impact of tariffs on its operations, particularly its reliance on manufacturers in India.
