Apple is set to invest an additional $100 billion to expand its operations in the United States, according to a White House official.

The announcement is expected to be made later today by President Donald Trump.

This move follows Apple’s previous commitment of $500 billion to strengthen its domestic footprint earlier this year. The new investment will include the launch of an American Manufacturing Program, aimed at reshoring more of Apple’s supply chain and encouraging domestic production of critical components by other US companies.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers described the announcement as a “win for the manufacturing industry,” crediting Trump’s “America First” economic strategy for attracting large-scale investments that support jobs and economic security.

Apple has not issued an official statement on the development. The company's shares rose 3.5% on Wednesday morning, marking their biggest single-day gain since May, though they remain down approximately 16% for the year.

The Trump administration has repeatedly urged Apple and other tech firms to reduce reliance on overseas manufacturing, especially in China, India, and Vietnam. While experts note that reshoring production faces challenges such as labor costs and workforce availability, the administration has maintained pressure through proposed tariffs.

Earlier this year, Trump warned that a 25% tariff could be imposed on iPhones not manufactured in the United States. Although Apple CEO Tim Cook has engaged privately with Trump to discuss tariff impacts, the company still expects to incur $1.1 billion in related costs in the current quarter.
