Apple is set to invest an additional $100 billion in the United States, President Donald Trump will announce Wednesday, according to the White House. This comes after the tech giant committed $500 billion earlier this year to expand its American operations.

The new funds will support Apple’s American Manufacturing Program, a White House initiative designed to reshore production and safeguard national security. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers credited Trump's "America First" economic strategy with driving trillions in domestic investment.

Apple has faced increasing pressure from Trump to shift iPhone production to the U.S., away from China, India, and Vietnam. The president previously warned Apple CEO Tim Cook that failure to comply would result in a 25% tariff.

The investment follows similar moves by other tech firms: Texas Instruments, Nvidia, and TSMC have all recently announced major U.S. expansions. Trump is also expected to raise tariffs on Indian goods, which could further impact Apple’s global supply chain.
