Trump Threatens 25% Tariff on Foreign-Made Smartphones, Targeting Apple and Samsung
- President Donald Trump announced plans to implement a 25% tariff on all smartphones manufactured outside the U.S., including those from Apple and Samsung, starting by June 2025.
- The tariff threat follows Trump's demand that Apple manufacture iPhones sold in the U.S. Domestically, as part of his broader push to revive American manufacturing and reduce reliance on China.
- Apple has accelerated plans to move iPhone production to India and diversify its supply chain amid trade tensions and high tariffs on Chinese imports to avoid price hikes.
- Apple shares fell nearly 3% on Friday, extending a year-to-date decline of over 21%, as analysts warned that forced onshore production is unlikely in the near term and could raise iPhone prices by $100 to $350.
- The tariff escalation has introduced new risks for Apple investors, risks that may benefit competitors like Samsung, while broader market volatility has increased amid uncertainty over the impact of these trade policies.
