Did you know that Apple is going to invest $500 billion (not million, but billion) in the United States over the next 4 years (the same length of time Donald Trump has been elected President).
From Josh Lipton’s article for Yahoo Finance:
Apple (AAPL) announced Monday that it will spend and invest more than $500 billion in the US over the next four years, including plans to build a new manufacturing factory, double its advanced manufacturing fund, and hire 20,000 people.
“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 statement.
“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 just days after President Trump said Cook promised him hundreds of millions of dollars in US investment and that the tech giant’s manufacturing would shift from Mexico to the US.
“They don’t want to be in the tariffs,” Trump said Friday.
Hmmmmm. Apple announces its facility will be north of the border, not south, and the fact that it will avoid the assessment of tariffs just might be a reason for it. Maybe a big, decisive reason.
So tell me: do you think that Apple’s investment and its tens of thousands of jobs would be on this side of the border if Kamala Harris were President.
Think about it. I doubt you’ll need much time to come to a conclusion.
