In a sweeping announcement that signals a new chapter for American manufacturing, President Donald Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed a $600 billion U.S. investment package—the largest in Apple’s history and one of the most ambitious private-sector initiatives ever launched in the country.

Standing alongside Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in the Oval Office, Trump declared, “This is the largest investment Apple has ever made in America—and anywhere else. Apple is coming home.”

The expanded investment, up from Apple’s original $500 billion commitment, will fund a wide array of projects aimed at revitalizing U.S. industry and bringing high-tech production back onto American soil. According to Trump, the initiative is expected to directly create over 20,000 new American jobs, with “many thousands more” expected across key Apple suppliers such as Corning, Broadcom, Texas Instruments, and Samsung.

One of the flagship projects is Apple’s partnership with Corning to construct the world’s largest Smart Glass manufacturing facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. The plant will supply all of the glass for future iPhones and Apple Watches globally. In a symbolic gesture, Cook presented Trump with a custom gift made from the Kentucky glass, featuring the president’s name, the Apple American Manufacturing Program logo, and Cook’s signature—all mounted on a 24-carat gold base.

Other major developments include:

• A 250,000 square-foot Apple server facility in Houston, Texas
• Billions in new data centers in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada
• A “manufacturing academy” in Detroit to train the next generation of factory workers
• A rare earth magnet factory in Texas and a recycling facility in Mountain Pass, California
• Semiconductor production across Arizona, New York, Texas, and Utah

Cook praised the momentum behind the new initiative, stating, “I’m very proud to say that today, we’re committing an additional $100 billion to the United States, bringing our total U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years.”

He continued, “As a part of this, we’re launching Apple’s American Manufacturing Program,” and emphasized that Apple is also “significantly growing our investments in AI, including expanding data center capacity” in multiple states.

Trump, who has made reshoring American jobs and rebuilding domestic manufacturing a central theme of his presidency, said the deal is proof that the U.S. is “once again the most attractive place on Earth to do business.” He called Apple’s renewed focus on America a “landmark moment” that would help secure the country’s technological dominance for generations.

“This is not just a win for Apple or for me,” Trump said. “This is a win for the American worker and the American dream.”

While details of the timeline and local incentives are still unfolding, the sheer scale and scope of the investment is already being hailed as a major economic turning point. Industry experts see the partnership as a powerful signal that global tech giants are shifting away from overseas dependency and returning to domestic roots.

Critics in the mainstream media and on the left have remained largely silent or downplayed the significance of the announcement, but among working-class Americans and pro-growth advocates, the news has sparked a wave of optimism.

With Trump in the White House and companies like Apple now planting deep roots in red states like Texas and Kentucky, the message is clear: the era of America Last is over—and Made in America is back in a big way.
