Title: Apple Faces 25% Tariff Threat Unless iPhone Manufacturing Moves To US

Link: https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/05/23/121...

President Donald Trump on Friday threatened Apple with a 25% tariff unless
the company manufactures iPhones sold in America domestically rather than in
India or other overseas locations. Trump posted on Truth Social that he had
"long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple" about his expectation for US-based
iPhone production, warning that failure to comply would trigger the
substantial tariff penalty. The ultimatum follows Trump's expressed
displeasure with Cook during his recent Middle East trip over Apple's plans
to build iPhones at newly constructed Indian facilities. Apple has
historically maintained that domestic iPhone manufacturing remains unfeasible
due to insufficient skilled engineering talent and substantially higher
production costs compared to Asian facilities.
