Apple CEO Tim Cook and US President Donald Trump met once again on Wednesday — this time on Apple's turf for a tour of the company's factory in Austin, Texas.

After the visit, Trump tweeted that he had opened a factory in Austin. However, the plant has actually been manufacturing Apple products since 2012, including an earlier version of the Mac Pro.

Today I opened a major Apple Manufacturing plant in Texas that will bring high paying jobs back to America. Today Nancy Pelosi closed Congress because she doesn't care about American Workers!

 

That same day, Apple also announced plans to build a new, billion-dollar campus in Austin. It's set to open in 2022, and will eventually hold 15,000 workers. The planned building will sit a short distance away from the factory Trump toured on Wednesday.
