Apple to set up three big manufacturing plants in US

Apple CEO Tim Cook reportedly told US President Donald Trump that the Cupertino tech-giant is planning on building three, “big, big, big,” manufacturing plants in the country. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump said that Cook promised to build “three big plants, beautiful plants,” in US. It is still uncertain exactly what these manufacturing plants will create.

“I spoke to Mr. Cook, he’s promised me three big plants — big, big, big,” Trump said. “I said you know, Tim, unless you start building your plants in this country, I won’t consider my administration an economic success. He called me, and he said they are going forward.”

Apple still hasn’t provided any confirmation regarding the matter as yet. As can be recalled, Trump earlier this year said that the US government was going to get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries. “Following pressure from Trump, Apple reportedly asked its suppliers Foxconn and Pegatron to look into making iPhones in the United States,” MacRumours reported. “While Pegatron declined, Foxconn is planning to build a TFT-LCD factory in US,” added the report.
