CHINA, JUL 7 – White House trade advisor Peter Navarro says Apple CEO Tim Cook is not moving iPhone production out of China quickly enough despite Trump’s tariff threats and push for US manufacturing.
- On Monday, Peter Navarro, a White House trade official, expressed frustration with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook for postponing plans to relocate iPhone manufacturing away from China.
- Navarro's criticism follows the Trump administration's push to reshore manufacturing to increase American jobs and impose tariffs on overseas production.
- Apple currently assembles most iPhones in China, with limited U.S. manufacturing mainly for high-end products, while shifting some production to India to avoid tariffs.
- Peter Navarro criticized Tim Cook for repeatedly requesting extensions to delay relocating Apple’s manufacturing facilities out of China, describing the situation as an ongoing and drawn-out drama within Silicon Valley that dates back to the early days of the Trump administration.
- Apple pledged a $500 billion U.S. investment in manufacturing, including AI server assembly, but analysts say full iPhone production in the U.S. may raise costs to $3,500 per device.
