- Apple secures exemption from 100% tariff on semiconductors by increasing US investment by $100 billion and gifting Trump a custom statue.
- The statue, made by iPhone glass manufacturer Corning, features a large Apple logo, a 24-karat gold base, and a 'Made in America' message signed by Tim Cook.
- Trump confirms no tariffs will be imposed on Apple or other companies building US factories, following Apple's strategic gesture.
- This move comes after Trump criticized Apple for planning to shift iPhone manufacturing for the US market to India instead of the US.
