Apple CEO Tim Cook will join President Donald Trump on Wednesday for an event touting what the White House calls a new $100 billion investment commitment by the tech giant in the U.S.
The announcement in the Oval Office, set for 4:30 p.m. ET, includes Apple's commitment to a new "American Manufacturing Program," a White House official confirmed to CNBC. With the new pledge, Apple's total investment in the U.S. over the next four years now totals $600 billion, the official said.
Bloomberg first reported Apple's new investment pledge earlier Wednesday. The meeting comes as Trump has pushed Apple to make its products in America — a feat that experts say would jack up prices by hundreds of dollars, if it can even be done at all.
On Wednesday, Trump announced he will double the U.S. tariff rate on Indian goods to 50%. Trump said he was raising the tariff because of India continuing to purchase Russian oil. Trump had exempted smartphones, chips and other tech products from his early April "reciprocal" tariff plan, which slapped a 10% baseline duty on nearly the entire world and set significantly higher rates for dozens of individual countries.
