U.S. Businesses Committing Hefty Investments: Notable Firms Exceeding $1 Billion During Trump's Initial 100 Days as President

IBM's CEO Arvind Krishna sit down for an exclusive chat on 'The Claman Countdown' to discuss the future of American manufacturing, with a specific focus on mainframe and quantum computing. His vision? To make the Land of the Free the powerhouse of these cutting-edge technologies.

There's a palpable energy in the air as the first 100 days of the second Trump term roll in. And the president himself is eager to highlight noteworthy investments US companies will be making on our home turf. In a tweet on his Truth Social platform, Trump promised to expedite approvals and permits, including environmental ones, for any individual or entity shelling out $1 billion or more. So, who's ready to dive in?

Let's hit the ground running with tech titans who've already shown their commitment.

Stepping Up: Tech Giants

Tech Titan No. 1 - Apple

Armed with a bullish attitude towards America's innovative potential, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, announced a whopping $500 billion investment in the US over the next four years. It's a dramatic shift from the $350 billion they'd initially earmarked for domestic projects back in 2018. This investment spree will see the birth of a new plant in Texas, a focus on AI and silicon engineering, and the establishment of an educational manufacturing academy.

Tech Titan No. 2 - Nvidia

Nvidia, the innovative powerhouse behind the surge of AI technology, has plans to invest $500 billion in infrastructure – including a mind-boggling first for the US: a manufacturing facility that'll churn out AI supercomputers. The factory will be a pivotal piece of the global AI infrastructure and is set to expand the company's US presence considerably, improving their supply chain, resilience, and capacity to meet the surging demand for AI chips and supercomputers.

Trump's Manufacturing Boom

Hyundai

This South Korean giant has laid out plans to invest a massive $21 billion in the US between 2025 and 2028. The investment will result in a significant boost in US car production, an expansion of future industries, and the strengthening of energy infrastructure – including EV charging. Hyundai's ambitious plan aims to create over 100,000 job opportunities.

Pharmaceutical Powerhouse

Merck

One can say that "When life gives you molecules, you make medicine." That's exactly what Merck is doing, as they're investing an additional $8 billion and opening a new 225,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Durham, North Carolina. The cherry on top? This investment will create hundreds of jobs in the region.

Joining these visionaries are the likes of TSMC, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Stellantis, and Chobani – all eager to invest $1 billion or more in the US.
