On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Apple could face a 25% tariff if it does not manufacture the iPhones it sells in the United States domestically. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he had “long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.” “If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.,” he added. Trump’s sweeping tariffs on major US trading partners have roiled global markets and upended international commerce. Trump’s comments Friday echo statements he made last week while on a trip to Qatar, urging Apple to bring iPhone production to US shores. “I had a little problem with Tim Cook,” Trump said on May 15. The president said he told Apple chief executive Cook: “We’re not interested in you building in India… we want you to build here and they’re going to be upping their production in the United States.” When presenting the tech company’s first-quarter profits in early May, Cook said he expected “a majority of iPhones sold in the US will have India as their country of origin”. He cautioned about the unpredictable effects of the 145% U.S. tariffs on Chinese-made products — a country that has long served as the company’s key manufacturing base — despite a temporary exemption for high-end tech items like smartphones and computers. While finished iPhones are currently excluded from Trump's tariffs, not all parts used in Apple devices are exempt. According to Cook, Apple anticipates the tariffs will cost the company \$900 million this quarter, even though their impact was “limited” earlier this year.
