Unique apple gift to President Donald Trump
At the White House press conference, Tim Cook gave a thoughtful gift to President Trump as a commitment to the United States to bring an investment plan of $ 600 billion in four years. This investment will mainly focus on transferring Apple’s supply chain and advanced manufacturing hub to America.
At the conference, Cook highlighted the uniqueness of the gift, which is all built in the US. As mentioned above, the showpiece contains a circular glass made by corning. It mentions “President Donald Trump” with a large -scale apple logo, Tim Cook’s signature. We can also see “Made in USA” with the year 2025. Glass is designed by a former US Marine Corps Corporal that is working in Apple. The glass was placed on 24k gold basis, which comes from Utah.
This gesture may have come as a step for promoting relations with the President and the betterment of America. Over the last few months, Trump has shown rejection of manufacturing components in China and India. The US government has also threatened Apple along with Tariff Hike if they do not bring manufacturing in the country.
Now, with Apple’s growing investment plans, Tim Cook said, “We are proud to increase our investment across the United States, which is $ 600 billion in four years and launch our new American manufacturing program.” The program will be involved in more than 10 companies, including corning, coherent, globalwafers US, Applied Materials, Emcor, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Globalfoundry and Broadcom. These companies will produce components for Apple products.
