  • President Trump says Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook divulged plans to build three manufacturing plants in the United States. Apple offered no comment.
  • Trump’s comment came during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. He did not provide details on the plant locations or build timing.
  • “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,” says Trump.
  • Earlier this year, Apple announced a $1B fund to invest in US manufacturing companies.
  • Most of Apple’s product assembly happens overseas through contract manufacturers with Foxconn the largest.
  • Foxconn does have plans to choose a location for a U.S. plant soon, but that plant would make large-panel displays for televisions.
