Trump Slams Apple's India iPhone Plan
Tap title to read story
President Trump criticized Apple's plan to increase iPhone production in India to avoid US tariffs on Chinese-made goods, urging the company to manufacture more iPhones in the US instead. He stated he discussed this with Apple CEO Tim Cook, claiming Apple will increase US production. While Apple pledged $500 billion in US investment, analysts suggest significant challenges and costs in replicating its Chinese supply chain domestically. This highlights a cooling relationship between Trump and Apple, contrasting with his praise for Nvidia. India's increased iPhone exports to the US, fueled by Apple suppliers, are a key success for Modi's manufacturing drive, despite ongoing trade tensions between the US and India.
