In a gesture prior to announcing increased investment in US manufacturing, Apple CEO Tim Cook gifted former US President Donald Trump a special glass item. This custom-made piece featured Trump’s name, the Apple logo, and a 24-karat gold base. The glass, designed by a US Marine Corps corporal employed by Apple, was presented before the announcement of a $100 billion investment in American manufacturing. Cook also disclosed that Apple will source its rare earth magnets from US manufacturers. This announcement contributes to an overall Apple investment in the US, projected to reach $600 billion over the next four years. The glass incorporated materials from Corning, and the gold base was sourced from Utah.
