US EditionTrump says a 25% tariff ‘must be paid by Apple’ on iPhones not made in the U.S.
- President Donald Trump warned that Apple would face a 25% tariff if it continues to manufacture iPhones outside the United States while selling them domestically.
- Trump made this demand after learning Apple planned to shift some iPhone production to India, which he raised during a recent Middle East trip and a White House meeting with CEO Tim Cook.
- The president announced on Truth Social that unless iPhones sold in the U.S. Are produced domestically, Apple will face a tariff of 25% or more, demonstrating a strong commitment to enforcing this measure.
- Apple's stock dropped more than 2% in pre-market trading following the tariff threat, with analysts warning higher iPhone prices could hurt sales and profits of the leading technology company.
- This ultimatum could force Apple to reconsider its supply chain shifts, potentially impacting trade relations and pricing amid ongoing tariff pressures from the Trump administration.
