This is nothing new. During this last year, Apple is making an extra effort to promote the production and manufacture of its products in the United States, investing large amounts of capital. It is estimated that this effort could exceed $ 1.000 billion.
Jeff Williams, Apple's Chief Operating Officer and currently No. 2 since late 2015, has spoken on this matter on CNBC. Apart from the investment on which we already talked here in Soy de Mac realizada con el fabricante Finish, The Cupertino-based company plans a billion-dollar operation to intensify its presence in local manufacturers.
Williams states in this interview that Apple intends to create numerous opportunities in the country. The objective is a symbiosis with national manufacturers, favoring the use of advanced technologies and thus developing the American economy.
«We are not thinking of setting a fund limit. We're thinking about where the opportunities lie in the US to help nurture the companies that are manufacturing advanced technology, and the advanced manufacturing that goes with it, which frankly is essential to our innovation. "
Apart from Finish, Apple has already invested in other companies, such as Corning, where it already invested $ 200 million at the beginning of the year. This dynamic is expected to extend much further during the next year 2018.
These measures come after the policies of President-elect Donald Trump, who threatened after his arrival at the White House all those companies that destined some manufacturing and exploitation processes to emerging countries, such as China or India.
Please, let's not confuse the headline: the American "billion" is not a trillion, but a billion, as correctly indicated in the body of the post.
