US Edition'Classic Vaporware': Trump Organization Drops ‘Made in US’ Claim for T1 Phone as Analysts Point to China Production
- The Trump Organization launched the $499 Trump Mobile T1 smartphone earlier this month, initially promoting it as made in America.
- Skepticism about the 'Made in USA' claim arose due to industry standards and analysis suggesting the phone is assembled in China, prompting the company to remove explicit claims within ten days.

- This case reflects broader challenges in reshoring smartphone production, showing that 100% US manufacturing is currently unrealistic due to complex global supply chains and economic factors.
