IBM became the latest company to announce its plans to invest in the U.S. during the Trump administration. 

On Monday, the tech firm unveiled a $150 billion investment plan in America over the next five years to “fuel the economy and to accelerate its role as the global leader in computing.”

At least $30 million will go toward research and development for American manufacturing of mainframe and quantum computers. 

IBM is one of the nation's largest technology employers and has ushered in innovations that include the data processing systems that enabled the U.S. social security system, the Apollo Program that put a man on the moon, and power businesses in every industry.
