Fresh momentum is building around US semiconductor manufacturing, with President Donald Trump stating that Apple will work with Intel to produce chips in the country as part of efforts to strengthen domestic technology capabilities.
Speaking about investments in the semiconductor sector, Trump said Apple and Intel would collaborate on chip manufacturing in the US. The move is aimed at expanding local production and reducing dependence on overseas supply chains.
The announcement comes as the US administration continues to push major technology companies to boost domestic manufacturing and invest in advanced semiconductor facilities. Strengthening the country’s chip ecosystem has become a key priority amid rising geopolitical and supply chain concerns.
Intel has been investing heavily in its foundry business and expanding manufacturing operations, while Apple designs its own custom chips used across devices including iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. A collaboration between the two companies could provide Apple with additional manufacturing capacity while supporting Intel’s efforts to become a leading contract chipmaker.
The semiconductor industry has become increasingly important for national security and technology leadership. Governments around the world are encouraging local production to ensure stable supplies of advanced chips.
Neither Apple nor Intel provided detailed comments regarding the reported partnership. However, Trump’s remarks highlight the growing focus on rebuilding chip manufacturing capabilities in the US.
Industry observers believe such collaborations could play a key role in strengthening the semiconductor supply chain and supporting future innovation in artificial intelligence, consumer electronics and advanced computing technologies.
The latest development reflects broader efforts by the US to position itself as a major hub for next-generation chip manufacturing.
