In February, Apple announced it would invest over $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years. But it is not the only big business moving back to the States. Due to the change in tariffs under Trump, several worldwide companies are returning to the US, creating jobs here while lowering manufacturing and transportation costs.
Apple
This tech giant plans to expand its facilities in America and create 20,000 jobs. These jobs would not be restricted to a single state but would cover at least eight states from coast to coast.
Apple currently imports many of its products from China. President Trump has announced higher tariffs for this country.
The new state investment includes a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas. Additionally, Apple will double its U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, create an academy in Michigan to train the next generation of U.S. manufacturers and grow its research and development investments in the U.S. to support cutting-edge fields like silicon engineering.
Honda
Meanwhile, Honda is moving much of its manufacturing to America. Honda originally planned to build the next-generation Civic in Mexico beginning in November 2027. However, because of the change in tariffs, they will produce the car in Indiana in May 2028.
After the November elections, Honda’s chief operating officer warned that permanent tariffs on imported vehicles would force the company to reconsider its production strategies.
Honda’s decision to relocate Civic hybrid production to Indiana highlights automakers’ and other large businesses’ ongoing challenges in balancing supply chain efficiency, cost management, and trade policy uncertainties. This shift aligns with broader industry trends as manufacturers seek to mitigate financial risks associated with evolving international trade regulations.
General Electric
GE has brought back some of its appliance manufacturing from China to Kentucky, leveraging automation and a skilled local workforce.
These businesses and more are gearing up for production and industry in the United States. With the tariff war going on, American companies can choose where to employ persons to make the most money. Doing it here keeps Americans in the job workforce, thus buying and contributing to the economy.
