Trump to Apple, Samsung: Build in U.S. or Pay 25% Tariff
- Donald Trump is pushing major smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung to move their production for the U.S. market back home and warned of a 25% import tariff if they don’t comply.
- Apple has shifted some iPhone production to India, but about 90% are still made in China, while Samsung no longer produces phones in China and makes them in South Korea, Vietnam, India, and Brazil.
- Experts believe Trump's demand is unrealistic, as moving Apple's supply chain to the U.S. would take years and could significantly increase iPhone prices due to higher production costs.
- If the 25% tariff is imposed, new iPhones prices could rise, potentially impacting customers, as the U.S. lacks the infrastructure and workforce to support a large-scale smartphone industry.
