Apple Vows to Build A.I. Servers in Houston and Spend $500 Billion in U.S.

The Company Pledged the Multibillion-Dollar Investment Over the Next Four Years and Said it Would Create 20,000 Jobs

Days after Apple’s chief executive met with President Trump, the company said on Monday that it planned to spend $500 billion and hire 20,000 people in the United States over the next four years and open a factory in Texas to make the machines that power the company’s push into artificial intelligence.

“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our longstanding U.S. investments,” Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, said in a statement. The company made similar, smaller pledges during the Biden administration and Mr. Trump’s first term, though it has not yet followed through on some of those promises.
