 "‘If the iPhone will be built in India 25% tariff’ … Trump Paramed")
The US President Donald Trump had recently said that the iPhone-sold in the United States should be made in the United States, not in India or another country. He warned that if not, Apple must provide at least 25 per cent tariff on each iPhone in the United States. Trump himself said this to Apple CEO Tim Cook, and now they have repeated it in public.
Trump’s thinking behind this statement is that American companies should create products in their country so that increase jobs and money not go out there. But the Apple like Apple makes the iPhone in the countries like China and India because there is a better supply chain for the construction.
India is becoming a new and important construction center for Apple. A company of Taiwan creates iPhone in Tamil Nadu, and Tata Electronics is also helping it. Currently, almost 40 million iPhone in India are created every year, which is about 15 percent of the total production of Apple. Not only that, India’s iPhone and other countries are being sent to the United States and other countries.
What do you want trump?
Recently Trump has made it clear that if Apple wanted to produce to India, he can do so for India, but the iPhone did not have been sold in the United States. This may affect Apple’s plans, because the company wants to reduce India on China to make India a major build center.
The Government of India has also taken the issue seriously. Immediately after the Trump statement arrits, Indian officials spoke to Apple and the company would continue to be investigated in India and he wanted to make India a major build center for its products.
What did Tim Cook say?
Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has already said that most of the iPhone sold in the United States would be set up in India. This strategy is conflicting with Trump statements. After this statement, it is to look at Apple changes in its strategy. Will they listen to Trump, or will they continue to build in India?
