In a jaw-dropping moment inside the Oval Office, Apple CEO Tim Cook presented President Donald Trump with a one-of-a-kind memento — a stunning disc of iPhone glass mounted on a 24-karat gold base — as he announced Apple’s colossal $600 billion investment in US manufacturing. The handcrafted gift was designed by a former US Marine Corps corporal currently working at Apple and features Trump’s name, Cook’s signature, the Apple logo, and “Made in USA 2025” engraved onto the glass.
The base, made from Utah-sourced gold, symbolizes Apple’s deeper commitment to American soil. Standing beside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump praised Apple’s investment surge and reiterated his push for iPhones to be made in the USA. The latest $100 billion pledge adds to Apple’s earlier announcements to create 20,000 jobs and build domestic infrastructure. This grand gesture — and golden gift — comes amid rising pressure on US companies to bring production home.

President Donald Trump has unveiled Apple’s staggering $100 billion expansion plan in the U.S., raising its total investment pledge to $600 billion over the next four years. The Oval Office announcement follows months of tariff threats from Trump, who recently floated a 25% tax on foreign-made Apple products. Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared alongside Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and presented a symbolic gold-based souvenir to mark the occasion. While the investment will expand Apple’s U.S. supply chain, it still falls short of Trump’s demand to manufacture iPhones domestically.
Cook noted that several components — including glass and chips — are already U.S.-made, but final assembly will stay overseas “for a while.” Experts say the move is both a savvy PR maneuver and a strategic way to sidestep future tariff risks. Apple shares closed up 5%, with suppliers like Corning and Applied Materials also surging after the blockbuster announcement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent visit to the closed city of Sarov, home to the Russian Federal Nuclear Center (VNIIEF), raised alarms as it signaled a possible escalation in nuclear preparations. Joined by top Russian officials, including General Valery Gerasimov and Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev, Putin paid tribute to the designer of the first Soviet atomic bomb and held discussions with nuclear industry personnel. The visit followed a controversial post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that Ukraine would have "no chance of winning" unless allowed to strike inside Russia, a comment that sparked tensions.

Israel has launched Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, marking the decisive stage of war against Hamas. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the “gates of hell” will open on Hamas unless hostages are freed and weapons surrendered. With 60,000 reservists, the IDF plans a four-phase offensive—encirclement, evacuation, and a final push into Gaza City. Netanyahu vowed no hostage will be left behind, while Trump backed Hamas’ “complete destruction.” Thousands flee south as Israel intensifies its most ambitious Gaza operation yet.

Donald Trump took a dig at his former National Security Advisor John Bolton calling him a 'lowlife'. When asked about the FBI raids at Bolton's house Trump deflected the question saying he didn't know much about it.
