President Donald Trump is scoring trade deals that are highly favorable to the U.S. and persuading tech companies to return jobs to America.
Apple pledged a $600 billion investment in the U.S. over four years, spurred by President Trump’s tariff tactics. This investment includes a $2.5 billion commitment to manufacturing glass for iPhones and Apple Watches in Kentucky. Other tech companies like Nvidia, Merck and IBM have also announced increased U.S. investments following Trump’s tariff threats.
Apple, the world’s third most valuable company, is the latest to succumb to President Donald Trump’s strong-arm tactics. I love to see tech giants bend to Trump’s “America First” agenda.
On top of his other tariff and trade-related wins in the past month, the new deal with Apple is more proof that Trump’s business prowess has been a boon to our nation, rather than a hindrance.Apple joins other tech companies that have pledged to increase manufacturing in the United states because of Trump’s controversial, but effective, tariffs.
In the spring, Nvidia, the most valuable company in the world, said it would manufacture up to $500 billion worth of AI supercomputers and Blackwell chips in America.Drugmaker Merck said it will invest $1 billion to build a plant in Delaware,after Trump said he would impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals. And IBM pledged to invest $150 billion in U.S. manufacturing over five years.
Those decisions should create thousands of good jobs in the United States in manufacturing, research, development and construction.Opinion: Nvidia CEO says Trump gives America an advantage. Hear that, progressives?
