He clarified that the new "American Manufacturing Program" aims to bring Apple's supply chains and high-tech manufacturing back to the United States.

New investments will include the launch of the "American Manufacturing Program," aimed at moving more of Apple's supply chain to the United States. Another goal of the program will be to encourage other American companies to produce components in the domestic market.
