President Donald Trump announced Apple’s partnership with Intel to design and manufacture chips in the United States, a decisive move to restore American independence and reduce dangerous reliance on foreign suppliers.
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Apple has reached an agreement with Intel to design and produce semiconductor chips in the United States, marking a major victory for American industry. Trump wrote on his social-media platform that the partnership is a testament to his administration’s unwavering commitment to rebuilding the domestic semiconductor industry and putting America first.
The collaboration will provide Apple with a crucial alternative to its primary supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which has been overwhelmed by demand from AI-focused chipmakers. By bringing production home, the Trump administration is taking bold action to end America’s dangerous dependence on foreign suppliers and strengthen national security.
Intel’s shares surged in pre-market trading following the announcement, reflecting renewed confidence in American manufacturing. The chipmaker recently began initial production of its cutting-edge 18A-P manufacturing technology and has been seeking additional demand after unfair competition from foreign companies. This partnership signals a resurgence of American innovation and jobs.
The Trump administration previously took a roughly 10% equity stake in Intel and outlined plans to invest billions of dollars in U.S. chip facilities, demonstrating real leadership in securing domestic supply chains for critical minerals and semiconductors. This move is a clear message: under President Trump, America will not be held hostage by foreign interests.
