A little over a month ago, we informed you of the rumor related to the possible investments that the Cupertino-based company may have planned to make. Softbank, which bought ARM half a year ago for $ 32.000 billions could be one of Apple's goals as reported by CNBC at the time. Apparently Apple wanted to invest $ 1.000 billion in Softbank Vision Fund, which would be worth about $ 100.000 billion. This investment fund will receive 25.000 million dollars from Softbank while another 45.000 million would come from the government of Saudi Arabia, increasingly interested in diversifying its investments.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple has confirmed the investment through spokeswoman Kristin Huguet in a statement in which it states that this investment is aimed at the faster development of strategically important technology for the company. But it seems that it has not been the only objective of the company, since it also wanted to demonstrate to Donal Trump, President Elector of the United States, who has always expressed his discomfort with American companies for always taking the production of their products out of the country, despite the fact that R&D tasks are carried out in American territory.
Donald Trump has paid special interest in this new investment fund, since he will allocate half of it, about 50.000 million dollars, to American companies that are investing in developing new technologies. Softbank, Apple, investment of 1.000 million dollars, but it has all the roles that the investment is related to alleviate a little the relations between the company and Donald Trump, with whom already the heads of the main technology companies in Silicon Valley met together, and Trump once again stressed that manufacturing be brought to the country as far as possible.
