During this commercial war, companies such as Apple have lost a lot of stock value, due not only to instability, but to the possible future, where tariffs would cause their products to increase a lot of cost, both production and sale to the public, which is not good for anyone.
Trump It has a clear strategy, and it is that everything is manufactured and marketed in your countrygenerating greater wealth and jobs, since, according to him, it is possible to do this at the same price as the cost of importing it from countries like China, however, it is not so clear.
Can a complete iPhone be manufactured in the United States?
The press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said Trump considers that the country has the labor and resources necessary for this, citing the investment of 500 billion dollars that Apple recently announced in the US.
The problem is not so much about whether it has the resources or not, that we all know yes, the problem is the labor and cost of wages, energy, and other factors, and that if Apple continues to do so, I do not think it is to pay more for it, but because, making accounts, it comes out profitable.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, pointed out that China has an advanced experience in manufacturing It is difficult to replicate in other places, in addition to the type of worker, with specialized skills in this sector, something that could be missing in the United States, having to form them, and wasting time and money.
There is a confusion about China. And let me give you my opinion. The popular conception is that companies come to China due to low labor costs. I am not sure to which part of China go, but the truth is that China ceased to be the country of Low labor cost Many years ago. The reason is because of the skill, the amount of skill in a place and the type of skill it is.
In summary, although Trump sees it from the outside, it is not so much, and it could be tried with a small factory, with which little by little expand, but it is not something that in 1 year is solved, so it will take a long time, and the tariffs and pressure of the president at this time, they do not help, forcing that to happen, without knowing the future of these companies that will lose a lot of money during their mandate, or so it seems.
And you, do you consider that a company should produce its components and devices completely in the country, or it is normal for labor and pieces of other sites in the world? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
