Apple CEO Tim Cook delivered pre-recorded remarks at a gathering of business executives celebrating President Donald Trump ’s first 100 days in office, commending the administration’s focus on boosting domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
“I want to take a moment to recognize President Trump’s focus on domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and we will continue to work with the administration as we invest in these areas,” Cook said in the virtual address.
Cook highlighted Apple’s commitment to the U.S. economy, spotlighting the company’s recent announcement of a $500 billion investment in the United States over the next four years. He also emphasized Apple’s longstanding partnerships with domestic suppliers.
The White House shared a video of Cook’s comments on YouTube , showcasing the tech giant’s support for the administration’s economic initiatives. Here’s the transcript:
“Hi, everyone. I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you today, but I’m glad to have the chance to speak. I’ve always said that Apple could only have been created in the United States. We are a uniquely American company and we care deeply about our impact on this country. That’s why we recently announced plans to spend five hundred billion dollars here over the next four years. We’re expanding our teams and our facilities in several states, including Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington. We’re also establishing a new factory for advanced AI servers in Texas, and we’ll be doubling our US advanced manufacturing fund to help companies expand in America.
We are proud to create millions of jobs here and to make significant investments to catalyze a new era of advanced manufacturing, and we’re proud to support businesses all across the country that help us deliver for our users. All told, we have more than nine thousand suppliers in the US across all fifty states.
We work with American companies to source everything from the components we used for Face ID to the glass used an iPhone. And we expect to source more than nineteen billion chips this year in America from companies across a dozen states. That includes tens of millions of advanced chips being made right now by TSMC in Arizona, where we are the first and largest customer.
I wanna take a moment to recognize President Trump’s focus on domestic semiconductor manufacturing, and we will continue to work with the administration as we invest in these areas. Needless to say, we are excited for the future of American innovation and the incredible opportunities it will create and we are honored to do our part.”
