Trump says he doesn’t want Apple building products in India: ‘I had a little problem with Tim Cook’

  • During a visit to Qatar on Thursday, President Donald Trump said he spoke with Apple’s CEO Tim Cook and expressed his opposition to the expansion of iPhone manufacturing in India.
  • Trump opposed the move because it follows his tariffs on Chinese imports and his push to increase U.S. Manufacturing despite Apple's complex global supply chain.
  • Apple began making iPhones in India in 2017, ramped up flagship assembly in 2023, and plans to produce about 25 percent of global iPhones there within a few years.
  • Trump said to Cook, "I don’t want you building in India" and urged him to increase production in the U.S., though analysts say costs and supply complexity make this nearly impossible.
  • The dispute highlights tensions over tariffs and trade; India offers to waive tariffs on U.S. Goods, while Apple shifts production to avoid paused U.S. Tariffs on China.
