Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook has committed to build three big manufacturing plants in the United States, the Wall Street Journal quoted U.S. President Donald Trump as saying.

"I spoke to (Cook), he's promised me three big plants — big, big, big," Trump told the Journal in an interview on Tuesday. (on.wsj.com/2uWIiop)

Trump didn't elaborate on where those plants would be located or when they would be built, the paper reported.
