Trump warns Apple it could face 25% tariff if it doesn’t shift iPhone manufacturing to US

The tech giant has become a frequent Trump target in his push to force companies to bring more manufacturing jobs to the US.

Apple makes most of its iPhones in China and has no domestic smartphone production.

The company has promised to hire more workers in the US and pledged to spend billions domestically over the next four years. The supply chain for Apple’s popular phones has been concentrated in China for years.

Trump earlier this month also raised pressure on Apple, saying he had asked Tim Cook, its chief executive officer, to stop building plants in India — part of an effort to shift production from China — and instead focus on the US.
