Apple announced on Monday that it would invest $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, which includes building an artificial intelligence (AI) server factory in Texas.
The Big Tech company said it will open the 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston in 2026, creating “thousands of jobs.” The investment also includes the expansion of teams and facilities in Michigan, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington, according to Apple.
“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a press release. “From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we’re thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing. And we’ll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation.”
Apple’s announcement comes after Cook met with President Donald Trump last week. Trump hinted at the major Apple investment on Friday, saying that the company “stopped two plants in Mexico” and would build in the United States.
“They don’t want to be in the tariffs,” Trump said, according to Bloomberg. In a post on Monday morning, Trump thanked Apple for its investment in the United States, writing: “APPLE HAS JUST ANNOUNCED A RECORD 500 BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE REASON, FAITH IN WHAT WE ARE DOING, WITHOUT WHICH, THEY WOULD’NT [sic] BE INVESTING TEN CENTS. THANK YOU TIM COOK AND APPLE!!!”
In a press release, Apple said it would “also double its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, create an academy in Michigan to train the next generation of U.S. manufacturers, and grow its research and development investments in the U.S. to support cutting-edge fields like silicon engineering.” The tech giant says it currently supports nearly three million jobs in the United States, which includes “direct employment, work with U.S.-based suppliers and manufacturers, and developer jobs in the thriving iOS app economy.”
“As a proud American company, we’re thrilled to continue to make significant investments in the US,” Cook posted on X on Monday morning. “Today, we’re announcing a $500 billion commitment to support American innovation, advanced manufacturing, and high tech job creation.”
Cook, who has previously supported Democrats, attended Trump’s inauguration and donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee.
The Trump administration has focused heavily on AI development in the first weeks of the president’s second term. Shortly after his inauguration, Trump announced a multibillion-dollar investment in AI infrastructure from an OpenAI, Oracle, and Softbank partnership. Earlier this month, Vice President JD Vance addressed world leaders at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, urging them to follow America’s lead on AI.
“This administration will continue to ensure that American AI technology continues to be the gold standard worldwide,” Vance said. “And we are the partner of choice for others, foreign countries, and certainly businesses, as they expand their own use of AI.”
