Apple's $714 Trillion Bold Investment in the U.S. Amid Trump Tariff War

Apple has decided to make a groundbreaking investment of more than 714 trillion won in the United States. This move aims to increase domestic production facilities as imports of Chinese products and others have become difficult due to U.S. President Donald Trump's 'tariff war.'

On the 24th (local time), Apple announced in a statement, "We plan to spend and invest more than $500 billion (approximately 714 trillion won) in the U.S. over the next four years."

This is the largest investment ever, and Apple added that it will create more than 20,000 jobs.

Apple will build a new factory in Houston, Texas, and double the size of its Advanced Manufacturing Fund to increase investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and other areas.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said in the statement, "We are pleased to expand support for U.S. manufacturing," adding, "We will work with people and companies across the United States to write an amazing new chapter in the history of American innovation."

Apple's investment plan is a response to President Trump's imposition of high tariffs.

President Trump has imposed high tariffs on imports from China and Mexico, which inevitably increases the burden on Apple, as it imports a significant portion of its devices, including iPhones, from these countries.

Earlier, on the 21st, President Trump said at a governors' meeting held at the White House, "CEO Cook will shut down two factories in Mexico and instead produce products in the U.S.," adding, "They want to avoid tariffs."
