Trump Warns Apple to Make iPhones in the US or Face 25% Tariff

President Donald Trump has released a new statement about Apple, once again calling for iPhones sold in the United States to be manufactured domestically. He also warned that a significant tariff could be imposed if that does not happen.

At the time, he noted that Apple would be increasing its production in the United States and cited the company's $500 billion investment pledge in the U.S. economy.Continue ReadingShare Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, EmailFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube
