Apple Goes PATRIOTIC? Cook’s Massive Manufacturing Plan

In a stunning turnaround for American industry, Apple CEO Tim Cook paid a visit to the White House on Wednesday with a bombshell announcement: Apple will inject a staggering $100 billion into U.S.-based manufacturing operations. This move came on the heels of President Trump’s unrelenting push to bring supply chains back to American soil — and it marks yet another major victory for his economic strategy.

This announcement follows a string of Trump administration trade triumphs that have revitalized markets and restored optimism in America’s economic future. One of the most notable successes includes the newly minted trade deal with the European Union, which has Europe agreeing to purchase $750 billion worth of American energy, with an additional $600 billion in other U.S. investments on the way.

According to a senior White House official who spoke to Bloomberg anonymously, Apple’s new $100 billion investment will involve launching a domestic manufacturing program aimed at shifting more of its supply chain to the U.S. The plan reportedly includes assembling high-value components within the country — a monumental shift for a company that’s long relied on overseas factories.
