Donald Trump announced a fresh fees and if 50% of the EU imports was not enough, also has a CEO CEO problem of Apple’s CEO.
Apple is realized to planning to move iphone assembly sold to the United States from China to India. This runs against the trump ambition to see the fabrication return in the United States.
Trump has posted the following message today,
“I also have so long tip dip dip that waiting for their iPhone, will do in the United States of America, a fee, a fee to the USA
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The United States sells around 60 million iPhone in the US each year, a significant part of their 220 million to sell globally.
Although the apple wanted to manufacture in the United States, they don’t be able for a pair of key reasons. First there is the advanced manufacturing issue that the United States are not only for electronics, ITT chips. could assembly the more facts more where in America? Sure, but unlikely to escape tariffs.
The other problem is the cost, if Apple starts to make the phone, the cost of the work is increasing the iPhone cost, which could see a significant starting kill.
This will be an interesting landscape to look at if trump again, oa cuisine can negotiate a lower fee but it seems to the chairman of your president to make their products in place.
