Trump says Apple has agreed to build chips with Intel in the USA
President Trump announced via Truth Social that Apple has agreed to collaborate with Intel to design and build computer chips in the United States. According to Trump’s post, this partnership is part of a broader initiative to establish domestic semiconductor manufacturing, alongside similar efforts with Nvidia and Elon Musk’s chip fabrication facility.
The announcement emphasizes the administration’s commitment to reshoring semiconductor production. However, as the information comes solely from a Truth Social post, independent verification remains pending. The reported partnership would combine Intel’s manufacturing expertise with Apple’s chip design capabilities to produce processors domestically.
Similar proposals for Apple-Intel collaboration have been discussed before, but a confirmed agreement would mark a significant development in the semiconductor industry. The announcement reflects ongoing efforts to reduce American reliance on overseas chip manufacturing and address supply chain vulnerabilities, particularly given growing concerns about technological independence and national security in semiconductor production.
