IBM has announced a $150 billion investment plan over the next five years to strengthen its operations in the United States, with a focus on research and development for mainframe and quantum computers. This initiative aligns with recent U.S. government policies aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing, such as President Trump's "reciprocal" tariff policy. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna emphasized the investment's role in maintaining the company's leadership in advanced computing technologies and its longstanding commitment to American jobs and manufacturing.
