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.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has drawn a firm line in the sand after the United States imposed hefty 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports. In a striking interview with Reuters, Lula declared he won’t initiate talks with President Trump that might “humiliate” his nation—saying he’ll only engage if he senses genuine willingness to negotiate. Brazil isn't retaliating with reciprocal tariffs but is pursuing WTO consultations and prepping domestic support for affected industries. Lula also unveils plans to mobilize BRICS partners like India and China for a coordinated response.
Firmly asserting Brazil’s economic sovereignty, he criticized Trump’s interference in a sovereign country’s legal affairs, particularly related to the prosecution of former president Jair Bolsonaro. Emphasizing mutual respect in diplomacy, Lula called for dignified engagement-pointing to Trump’s public humiliations of other world leaders as unacceptable conduct. He’s offering negotiation-but on his terms only.

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.

President Donald Trump has reignited global trade tension by declaring that the U.S. can “do whatever we want” as the July 8 deadline on reciprocal tariffs approaches. The 90-day pause on steep U.S. import duties—affecting several nations—is set to expire soon, with Trump refusing to confirm adherence to any deadline. While the EU faces a 50% tariff threat by July 9, Trump hinted flexibility, echoing his stance that America will act in its best interest. Amidst this uncertainty, Trump teased a “very big” trade deal with India, stating the U.S. has finalized partial deals with China and the UK and is working on opening India’s trade structure. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Indian Minister Piyush Goyal have confirmed negotiations are progressing. Trump suggested letters may soon be sent to over 200 nations outlining revised U.S. trade terms. The trade battlefield is heating up again—with Trump in full control.
