VIDEO: Tim Cook Gifts Trump This Item As Apple Seals $600 Billion Pledge To Invest In America

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. #TimCook #DonaldTrump #AppleInvestment #MadeInUSA #GoldGift #TrumpTimCookMeeting #AppleGlassGift #iPhoneManufacturing #AppleUSA #CorningGlass #USJobs #TrumpWhiteHouse #AppleAnnouncement #TimCookTrump #OvalOfficeGift #TrumpNews #GoldBase #USManufacturing #TechInAmerica #AppleMadeInUSA

Tim Cook Full Speech: Apple Announces $100 billion expansion plan in U.S after tariff threat

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. #Apple #Trump #TimCook #AppleInvestment #MadeInUSA #AppleNews #TechInAmerica #iPhoneManufacturing #TrumpTariffs #TrumpAnnouncement #OvalOffice #GoldGift #USJobs #SupplyChain #AppleShares #TariffThreat #TimCookTrump #Corning #Samsung #Semiconductors ~HT.318~GR.122~
