Good news for job seekers as Apple set to create 20 lakh jobs, to invest Rs 41 lakh crore in...

Apple Inc. has joined the list of tech giants pledging large investments in the United States, a move that former President Donald Trump claims credit for. The company announced plans to invest USD 500 billion in the country over the next four years, hire 20,000 new employees, and manufacture AI servers domestically.

Shortly after Apple's announcement, Trump stated that the company was investing in the US because it had "faith in what we are doing." However, Apple did not directly link its investment plans to the Trump administration. According to Bloomberg, these spending plans are not significantly different from what Apple had previously outlined.

Over the years, many corporations have made large investment pledges under Trump's presidency. Now, as he returns to office for a second term, companies are once again announcing major financial commitments.
