Donald Trump, former US president, has asked Apple CEO Tim Cook to stop expanding iPhone production in India. Trump said that India has one of the highest tariffs in the world, making it very difficult for American products to sell there.
- In a private conversation with Tim Cook, Trump said that he would not support construction projects in India.
- Trump said: “We have been patient in China for years, but we do not like you moving to India.”
- Trump said that Apple has now promised to increase production in the United States.
- Apple has begun to move production from China to other countries, including India.
Local production
- Foxconn assembles iPhones in southern India.
- Manufacturing partners Wistron and Pegatron are also active.
Future Plans
- Starting in 2024, all iPhones sold in the US could be assembled in India.
- This move is related to Trump’s trade policy with China.
