Apple to Buy Off Trump’s New Tariffs with $500 Billion Investment and ‘Made in the USA’ Servers

As Bloomberg reports, Apple CEO Tim Cook’s meeting with US President Donald Trump last week has already revealed how the company will avoid higher tariffs on its products from China. It plans to invest about $500 billion in the US over the next four years.

Part of these funds, according to available information, will be used to organize the production of server systems for Apple’s AI infrastructure in Texas, based on its own processors. This site will be located in Houston and will most likely involve cooperation with Foxconn in terms of transferring the latter’s production facilities from neighboring Mexico. Apple will establish production of server equipment in Texas starting next year. In general, Apple will spend part of the specified amount on localizing the production of the components it needs in the United States using its contractors.

In addition, a special academy for Apple suppliers will be created in Michigan, where a similar educational institution for app developers already operates. Over the next four years, Apple is committed to creating twenty thousand new jobs in the United States, including highly skilled developers. Over the past five years, it has already hired 20,000 researchers and developers in the United States, as noted in Apple’s statements. In 2021, the company committed to investing $430 billion in the United States over the next five years.

At the same time, the company does not specify whether it intended to spend $500 billion on the development of the American economy before the meeting of its leader with Trump. During the first presidential term of this American leader, Apple already presented the organization of Mac Pro production in Texas as a special event within the framework of localization of assembly, although in fact it has been engaged in similar activities in this state since 2013. Then, such gestures helped Apple avoid raising customs duties on its products imported to the United States from China. This time, a similar calculation was made.

Along the way, Apple’s data centers in Arizona, Iowa, Nevada and North Carolina will expand. Taiwanese company TSMC is already manufacturing processors for Apple at a new facility in Arizona. Some of the new jobs created by Apple over the next four years will be in chip development and artificial intelligence. Apple will double its fund for developing American manufacturing to $10 billion.
