US EditionTrump Is Threatening to Impose Tariffs on Two American Companies
- President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on key products from Apple and Mattel in 2025 over CEO comments and production shifts.
- These threats follow Apple CEO Tim Cook’s plan to move iPhone production from China to India, which angered Trump, and Mattel’s refusal to relocate toy manufacturing to the U.S.
- The U.S. Court of International Trade questioned Trump's authority to unilaterally impose company-specific tariffs, with a Court of Appeals temporarily blocking such actions.
- Trump announced a 25% tariff on all imported smartphones including Apple’s unless made in the U.S. And threatened a 100% tariff on Mattel toys, stating "We'll put a 100% tariff on his toys."
- Trade experts and attorney Lizbeth Levinson say the tariff threats aim to pressure these companies to commit to U.S. Production or investment rather than to actually impose tariffs.
