Apple pledged $100 billion (R1.85 trillion) to boost U.S. manufacturing in August 2025 amid Trump's tariff threats. This investment follows Apple's earlier $500 billion (R9.25 trillion) commitment, totaling $600 billion (R11.1 trillion). The move aims to reduce foreign dependence and ease trade tensions. Apple plans to hire 20,000 U.S.
