Apple CEO Tim Cook announced at the White House on Wednesday that his company will be investing an additional $100 billion in the U.S. economy, on top of the $500 billion it previously committed to invest over the next four years.

Cook said during an Oval Office event with President Donald Trump that Apple supports 450,000 American jobs, with suppliers and partners in all 50 states.

“I’m very proud to say that today, we’re committing an additional $100 billion to the United States, bringing our total U.S. investment to $600 billion over the next four years,” the CEO stated.

Cook noted that his company has recently entered into agreements with 10 U.S. companies to build Apple component parts.

“I’m proud to say that Apple is leading the creation of an end-to-end silicon supply chain right here in America, from design to equipment to wafer production to fabrication to packaging,” he said.

Cook recounted that during Trump’s first term, he worked to bring Taiwan-based microchip builder TSMC to Phoenix, Arizona, by committing to be their largest customer, and the company is producing millions of chips for Apple products now.

The CEO also pointed out that Apple is working with the glass manufacturer Corning in Kentucky “to build the world’s largest and most advanced smartphone glass production line.”
