What We Know
Apple has unveiled a sweeping expansion of its American operations, announcing a $100 billion increase to its domestic investment plan. This brings the company’s total U.S. commitment to a record-breaking $600 billion over the next four years, according to an official release on August 6.
Central to this investment is the newly launched American Manufacturing Program (AMP), designed to deepen Apple’s supply chain footprint across the United States. The company says the AMP will encourage more global suppliers to produce key components domestically, supporting job creation and export growth.
Currently, Apple works with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states and supports over 450,000 jobs through its supplier ecosystem. Roughly two-thirds of U.S.-made components in Apple products are exported to customers around the world, the company noted.
What They’re Saying
“Today, we’re proud to increase our investments across the United States to $600 billion over four years and launch our new American Manufacturing Program,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook, as quoted by Apple release . “This includes new and expanded work with 10 companies across America. They produce components that are used in Apple products sold all over the world, and we’re grateful to the President for his support.”
The Big Picture
Apple’s push comes as the White House continues to advocate for reshoring critical technologies and revitalizing domestic industries under President Trump’s “Made in the USA” initiative. Apple’s AMP appears aligned with this broader national strategy to counter offshore manufacturing dependency and strengthen U.S.-based high-tech production.
In addition to working with its suppliers, Apple plans to directly hire 20,000 Americans, focusing primarily on fields such as silicon engineering, artificial intelligence, and software development — sectors seen as crucial to the future of global tech leadership.
