In a recent statement, former President Donald Trump disclosed that he advised Apple CEO Tim Cook against expanding the company’s manufacturing operations in India, advocating instead for increased production within the United States.
Trump emphasized his preference for Apple to bolster its domestic manufacturing footprint, suggesting that India is capable of managing its own growth. He noted that Apple plans to enhance its production activities in the U.S., aligning with his longstanding push for American companies to repatriate manufacturing jobs.
This development follows Apple’s announcement of a $500 billion investment in the U.S. economy over the next four years, including the creation of 20,000 new jobs and the establishment of a new manufacturing facility in Houston for AI servers.
