After 25% tariff threat to Apple, Trump says Samsung and other tech firms could be next

US President Donald Trump on Friday escalated his economic nationalism rhetoric, demanding that Apple and other smartphone makers like Samsung manufacture their devices in the United States or face a 25% tariff. Posting on Truth Social, Trump said he had “long ago informed” Apple CEO Tim Cook of his expectations that iPhones sold in the US be made domestically, not in India or other countries.
