The company pledged the multibillion-dollar investment over the next four years and said it would create 20,000 jobs. The Texas facility is set to open in 2026.<\/p>\n

Days after Apple\u2019s chief executive met with President Trump, the company said on Monday<\/a> that it planned to spend $500 billion and hire 20,000 people in the United States over the next four years and open a factory in Texas to make the machines that power the company\u2019s push into artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we\u2019re proud to build on our longstanding U.S. investments,\u201d Tim Cook, Apple\u2019s chief executive, said in a statement. The company made similar, smaller pledges during the Biden administration and Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, though it has not yet followed through on some of those promises.<\/p>\n

Mr. Cook met with Mr. Trump last week. After that meeting, Mr. Trump said Apple would shift production to the United States: \u201cThey\u2019re going to build here instead because they don\u2019t want to pay the tariffs,\u201d he said in a speech<\/a> to a gathering of governors.<\/p>\n

With its investment, Apple said it would begin manufacturing artificial intelligence servers at a new 250,000-square-foot facility in Houston next year. Those servers, which will be made by the Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn<\/a>, will help the company expand its data center capacity in North Carolina, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Apple will continue to make the bulk of what it sells \u2014 iPhones, iPads and Macs \u2014 in Asia. Its overseas manufacturing footprint has been a point of contention with Mr. Trump since before he was first elected president in 2016. For years, he has called on Apple to \u201cstart building their damn computers and things in this country, instead of in other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the first Trump administration ratcheted up tariffs on China in 2019, Apple began shifting some of its manufacturing to Vietnam, India and other Asian countries. But it didn\u2019t bring any of that production back to the United States.<\/p>\n
