US president Donald Trump will announce that Apple will commit to spend another $100bn (€86bn) on domestic manufacturing, the latest pledge by the tech giant to increase US production of its products as it seeks to avoid punishing tariffs on its flagship iPhones.
The deal includes a new manufacturing program designed to bring more of Apple’s supply chain to the US, with an eye towards manufacturing additional critical components domestically, according to a White House official who detailed the announcement on the condition of anonymity.
