Apple Inc is set to announce a substantial domestic manufacturing commitment of $100 billion, focusing on increasing production within the United States. This news, revealed by a White House official, aligns with President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff and trade policies, which aim to shift manufacturing back to the U.S.

In February, Apple had already declared a $500 billion investment plan in the U.S. over the next four years, including a major factory in Texas for artificial intelligence servers and the addition of approximately 20,000 research and development positions nationwide.

Amid fluctuating tariff rates affecting many Apple products, the company's strategy involves sourcing iPhones from India and other products from Vietnam. White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers described Apple's new commitment as a significant win for U.S. manufacturing, promising to enhance America's economic and national security.
