A few days after Apple’s CEO meeting with the US president, Donald Trump, the company announced that it plans to invest $ 5 billion in the United States in the next four years and hire 6,000. There will also be a factory in Texas to build machines that will help develop artificial intelligence.
“We are optimistic about the future of American innovation and we are proud to take this step based on our long -term investment in the United States,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Apple had previously made similar promises during the presidency of Biden and Trump, though some of these promises have not yet been fulfilled.

The servers, which will be built by Taiwanese Foxkan, will help the company expand its data center capacity in the states of North Carolina, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada.
