Trump’s term sparks $1.45T surge in US tech investments, reshaping innovation, AI, and semiconductor growth.

$1.45T in US Tech Investments

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A wave of massive corporate investments is sweeping the U.S. as major tech giants commit trillions to bolster domestic manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and semiconductor production during President Donald Trump’s second term. According to a White House report on Sunday, August 24, 2025, companies like Apple, Nvidia, Micron, and IBM are leading the charge with a combined $1.45 trillion in pledges, signaling a robust push to strengthen American industry.

Apple is investing $600 billion over four years to enhance U.S. manufacturing and workforce training, including a new Texas plant and an educational academy for advanced manufacturing. “We’re bullish on the future of American innovation,” Apple CEO Tim Cook stated, emphasizing the company’s commitment to domestic supply chains. Nvidia, a leader in AI chips, is pouring $500 billion into U.S.-based AI infrastructure, with plans to build AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. for the first time. “This strengthens our supply chain and boosts resiliency,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang noted.

Micron Technology, the sole U.S.-based maker of advanced memory chips, is committing $200 billion, including $150 billion for manufacturing and $50 billion for R&D. This includes a second chip fabrication facility in Boise, Idaho, and upgrades in Manassas, Virginia, expected to create 90,000 jobs. IBM is investing $150 billion over five years to expand manufacturing and quantum computing, aiming to solidify U.S. tech leadership.

Key investments include:

  • Apple: $600B for manufacturing and workforce training.
  • Nvidia: $500B for AI infrastructure and supercomputers.
  • Micron: $200B for memory chip production, creating 90,000 jobs.
  • IBM: $150B for manufacturing and quantum computing.

The surge, fueled by Trump’s policies like expedited permits for billion-dollar investments, has drawn praise for job creation but criticism for potential government overreach. As these firms reshape the U.S. tech landscape, analysts see a shift toward self-reliance in critical industries like AI and semiconductors.
