Apple is looking into an investment in the United States after President Trump’s message, “Buy American, Sell American,” is continuously emphasized. Apple Inc. CEO, Tim Cook, continued to show interest after meeting with the President, in which they discussed jobs and incentives. Included in their offer is lower corporate taxes and a discount for repatriation from overseas.
If Apple were to follow through on the plans, they would invest roughly $7 billion with their supplier Foxconn Technology Group to build a liquid crystal display (LCD) manufacturing plant in the United States. The Taiwanese manufacturer, Foxconn, is the biggest contract maker of electronics whose most popular customer is Apple, contributing to 50% of their sales. According to Nikkei Asian Review, Foxconn CEO, Terry Gou, has considered moving production to the U.S. due to improvements in information technology and productivity, and lower energy costs in the states. The panel display facility is expected to create up to 50,000 jobs for Americans which is likely to please President Trump. And to Apple’s benefit, the plant would allow them to update their apple products, including their Macs, iPads, and iMac desktops. The plant could also be forward thinking from Apple to build the next generation of smartphone screens. The United States is the second largest T.V. market, yet has no display factories, posing a huge opportunity for the technology duo.
