@cspanofficial: President Trump on Wednesday announced Apple has pledged to invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S. as part of its efforts to buy more components from U.S. suppliers and avoid tariffs. "This is the largest investment Apple has ever made in America," the president said in the Oval Office alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook. The tech giant will create a new American Manufacturing Program, which will put more of the company's advanced manufacturing inside the U.S. to avoid the president's taxes on imports. This new commitment comes in addition to Apple's February pledge to invest $500 billion in the U.S. and hire 20,000 U.S.-based employees over the next four years. #trump #apple #timcook #cspan
