Trump Asks Apple to Make Your Next iPhone in the US, Not India

  • President Donald Trump publicly urged Apple CEO Tim Cook during a May 2025 trip to Qatar to increase iPhone production in the US rather than India.
  • This pressure follows Apple’s strategic shift to move much of its iPhone assembly from China to India to avoid tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
  • Earlier this year, Apple revealed a $500 billion initiative to increase production within the United States by constructing new factories and establishing a training center for manufacturing workers across multiple states.
  • Trump recounted telling Tim Cook that he had been supportive of him and expressed his displeasure with Apple's plans to manufacture products in India, emphasizing that he preferred the production to remain in the United States.
  • Despite Trump’s demands, high US labor costs and complex supply chains suggest it could take a long time before most iPhones are manufactured domestically, and Cook has not publicly responded.
