OR Apple It is moving on to a milestone for its strategy in the US, launching additional $ 100 billion investments in the US territory, “retreating” to its pressures Donald Trump.
The timing of Apple’s announcement is not just accidental. Lately, US President Donald Trump had threatened to impose a 25% duties on all iPhones that are not manufactured on US territory, mainly targeting devices produced in China and India. This threat, coupled with Washington’s wider aggressive tariff policy, appears to have served as a catalyst for the company’s decision.
This new commitment is being added to the already grand program of $ 500 billion announced, raising the total amount of investment for the next four years to $ 600 billion.
The new investment package includes the construction of a state -of -the -art artificial intelligence servers in Houston, which will be launched in 2026. At the same time, Apple is increasing Advanced Manufacturing Fund to $ 10 billion, with the aim of developing semiconductor production and enhancing research and development in the US. The plans also include the creation of a California productive innovation laboratory and a Detroit Academy of Construction, which will provide specialized educational programs.
With the expansion of production in the US, Apple acquires a kind of “shield” against future tariffs, aligned with the industrial regeneration of the White House. At the same time, the company reinforces its technological autonomy, reducing its dependence on supply chains affected by geopolitical tensions.
