Trump claims that Tim Cook will stop IPhone production in India

Donald Trump is still convinced that Apple should stop the production of the iPhone outside the United StatesA field during his presidential visit to Qatar, the American president claimed to say that Tim Cuke Cupertino should no longer assemble his most important product in India.

“Yesterday I had a small problem with Tim Cook. He makes everything in India. I do not want a factory in India! ”Trump said with his usual style. But he did not stop there because he said that Apple promised to “accelerate its production” in the United States.

Of course, Donald Trump’s comments should be taken using tweezers. Since the Republican began his second presidential mandate, protectionism has become his most important commercial policy. An extremely complex scenario for Apple and other technological, which largely depends on the production lines established in China and other Asian countries. And in the White House, they provide that Californians must – and can – produce the iPhone in the United States.

That Trump sets darts against Apple for the production of iPhone in India This is no accidentThe field when the tariff war between the United States and China is unleashed, the production potential of Foxconn in India became a kind of rescuer for the apple. Tim Cook and the company intended to double the production of their mobile phone in this country in order to cover the demand for the US market.

As mentioned BloombergApple produces about 40 million iPhone per year in India. This is 20 % of the total mobile phones that he produces. The annual demand of the United States is about 60 million units, so the company’s idea was to double Indian production at the end of 2026 to cover it. However, Trump’s pressure can Complicate this strategyField

Trump puts pressure on Tim Cook so that Apple produces iPhone in the United States.

This is the fact that for Apple it is impossible to make the iPhone in the United States, at least in the short term, as Trump intends. From the White House, they claim that Cupertino has work, labor and resources for this. But the reality is such that this is not so.

The components that give the life of the iPhone come from different parts of the world, and Apple is devoted to decades to establish an effective and profitable supply chain. To this is added that the Assembly of devices in China and India also required investment years on a giant scale. And the choice of these countries for the final production of devices was also not accidental. In the end, these are sites where not only labor abounds, but also where Workers and wages are much lower To the countries of the vast majority of Western countries.

In accordance with Howard LutnikUS Minister Tim Cook told him that Apple’s idea is to establish a robotic production line for the production of iPhone in North America. The official said that the company expected a robotic weapon to arrive to start a plan. And he even called for saying that the general director of Apple admitted that, presumably, he does not like to use people abroad. Let’s see how this story should be.
