How Apple founder Steve Jobs may have agreed with Donald Trump’s ‘biggest policy’ 36 years ago

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs expressed concerns similar to those of President Donald Trump regarding U.S. manufacturing and reliance on foreign-made technology components, a topic that has regained attention in recent economic policy discussions. In a 1991 interview, Jobs warned that the American tech industry was losing control over critical hardware components, even as final assembly remained in the U.S. “Even though most of the computers are assembled here in the United States, a significantly large number of the dollars… flows overseas,” he said.
