TAIPEI -- Taiwanese iPhone assemblers Foxconn and Pegatron have both pledged to invest in the U.S. as their American clients press for more local manufacturing.

The announcements, on the heels of Joe Biden's victory in the U.S. presidential election, suggest global tech supply chains will continue to shift even after Donald Trump, who pressed foreign companies to invest and create jobs in America. China is also wanting to become more self-reliant amid tensions with Washington.
