Trump to Apple’s Cook: Make iPhones in America or pay 25% import tariff

US President Donald Trump has said Apple will face a 25 per cent tariff if it continues to sell iPhones in the United States that are not made within the country.

In a post on Truth Social on Friday (May 23), Trump said that he had previously informed Apple CEO Tim Cook that all iPhones sold in the US must be manufactured domestically.

“I have 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,” he wrote.
