A Apple anunciou nesta segunda-feira, 254, que irá contratar 20 mil pessoas nos próximos quatro anos, a maior parte delas focada em P&D, engenharia de silício, desenvolvimento de software, machine learning e inteligência artificial. O aporte ocorre em um cenário de taxação de bens da China em 10% pelo governo dos Estados Unidos de Donald Trump. As tarifas começaram a valer em fevereiro deste ano.
O anúncio veio alguns dias depois que o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump,se encontrou com o CEO da Apple, Tim Cook. Após o encontro, Trump disse que a Apple iria investir centenas de bilhões de dólares, segundo a Bloomberg, e deu a entender que a companhia investiria dentro do país por não querer pagar 10% de taxa nos itens chineses. Hoje, boa parte da produção dos iPhones e de outros produtos da Apple ocorre na China.
A contratação das 20 mil pessoas faz parte de um pacote de investimento de US$ 500 bilhões nos próximos quatro anos, que irá englobar expansão de equipes e estabelecimentos nos estados de Michigan, Texas, Califórnia, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, Carolina do Norte e Washington.
Em sua conta na rede social Truth Social, Trump escreveu que a companhia tem fé no que o governo está fazendo. "Apple acabou de anunciar um investimento recorde de 500 bilhões de dólares nos Estados Unidos da América. A razão, fé no que estamos fazendo, sem o qual, eles não estariam investindo dez centavos. Obrigado Tim Cook e Apple!!!".
Durante o primeiro governo Trump, Cook conseguiu dissuadir o então presidente a não taxar produtos estrangeiros, argumentando que isso ajudaria concorrentes como a Samsung, diz a Bloomberg. A empresa também anunciou investimentos durante o primeiro mandato de Trump. Agora, a Apple segue uma estratégia similar a que manteve na época e faz anúncios estratégicos que vão de encontro às vontades do presidente.
