Apple makes record investment move to the US

In a written statement from Apple, it was stated that the company decided to develop its teams and facilities in Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina and Washington.

It was stated in the statement that among the planned investments is the establishment of a new factory in Texas, and that investments in artificial intelligence and silicon engineering will also be increased.

The statement emphasized that the company will invest more than $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, and that this amount is the largest "spending commitment" in the company's history.

Apple CEO Tim Cook, whose views were included in the statement, indicated that they were optimistic about American innovation and said, "We will continue to work with the people and companies in this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation."

Following Apple's announcement, US President Donald Trump made a statement on the social media site Truth, saying, "Apple announced a record $500 billion investment in the US. The reason is their belief in what we are doing, otherwise they would not have invested even 10 cents. Thanks to Tim Cook and Apple!"

Following his meeting with Tim Cook on February 21, Trump said Apple would invest "hundreds of billions of dollars."
