In a rare joint appearance, Apple CEO Tim Cook and U.S. President Donald Trump shared the stage to announce a historic move: Apple’s total U.S. investment is now $600 billion. While Trump proudly declared, “Apple is coming back to America,” Tim Cook detailed Apple’s bold American manufacturing program, including AI server factories, 19 billion U.S.-made chips, rare-earth supply chains, and iPhone glass made in Kentucky. This isn’t just a corporate update—it’s a political and tech power play. Trump is framing it as a win for his “America First” agenda, while Cook is betting big on the U.S. innovation ecosystem. Is this the start of a new tech-nationalism wave?
