Trump demands Apple make iPhones in the United States, threatens new 25% tariff if they don’t
Image Credit: 9to5macPresident Trump has publicly demanded that Apple manufacture iPhones in the United States instead of India or other countries, threatening a 25% tariff on Apple if the demand is not met.
This statement follows Apple’s strategy to shift production to India and Vietnam to mitigate tariffs on Chinese imports, a move that has already caused a 3% drop in Apple’s stock.
Apple has yet to respond to Trump’s comments, and the company has historically been reluctant to manufacture iPhones domestically due to cost and labor constraints.
The development suggests a potential increase in tension between Apple and the Trump administration.
