The former president’s remarks add to ongoing pressure on the tech giant amid broader global manufacturing and trade policy tensions.\n\n[embedpress] https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1925876756705091813[/embedpress]\n\n**Posting on his Truth Social website, Trump says:**\n\n“I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.\n\n“If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank your for your attention to this matter!”\n\nThis marks the latest effort by the U.S. president to pressure Apple into relocating its manufacturing operations to American soil. Just last week, Donald Trump voiced frustration with Apple CEO Tim Cook, stating he had a “little problem” with him following reports that the company plans to shift assembly of iPhones for the U.S. market from China to India."}
