The Technological war between the United States and the rest of the world He continues, and despite the fact that Donald Trump's rival seems to be China, he is not happy that no other country benefits from companies in the United States, and has shown his discontent with Apple.
Tim Cook's company, after the recent problems, would have begun to move its manufacture of products to other countries such as India, leaving China. However, this, for Trump, is simply a trick, and what he wants is for them to come to his own country, and do not use a third.
Apple must produce in the United States
During a visit to Qatar, Donald Trump asked Tim Cook directly to stop more iPhones in India and that focus production in the United States. He clearly showed his discomfort with Apple's expansion in India, saying: “I don't want you to build in India. India can take care of yourself.” According to Trump, after talking to him, Apple agreed to increase its production within the country, however, this is something that, as we mentioned earlier, will take a long time, and will have to continue depending on these countries, however, they can simulate that start of change so that Trump leaves them something calm for now.
Of course, this request could affect Apple's plans Move the majority of iPhones production for the United States to India by the end of 2026as part of its strategy to move manufacturing outside of China. In the last fiscal year, Apple assembled iPhones for a value of 22,000 million dollars in India, which represents a 60 % increase compared to the previous year.
For now, India is not a country that worries the world, however, Trump does not want them to become another world power that can damage them, so he does not want tariffs still worse, which will force them or yes, to be done, because they would not be profitable.
They (India) have offered us an agreement in which they have basically agreed to literally charge any tariff. I said 'Tim, we are treating you very well, we endure all the plants you built in China for years. We are not interested in building in India. India can take care of yourself.
At the moment we will have to wait, to see the way in which everything ends, but one thing is clear, and that Trump will not stop until all brands leave intermediary countries outside, and although it is more expensive, he wants everything to occur in the same US, so we may see news soon, and price increases, since this will end up paying the final consumer, that is clear.
