Apple plans to start a $1 billion fund to promote advanced manufacturing jobs in the U.S., CEO Tim Cook told Mad Money host Jim Cramer on Wednesday. The announcement comes in the wake of President Donald Trump’s call for American businesses to bring their manufacturing stateside.

The tech giant already is responsible for creating 2 million jobs in the U.S., according to a Wednesday update on its job creation page. The number of people employed by Apple, including positions at the company’s retail stores, grew to 80,000 in 2016 from 76,000 the previous year.
