Trump has “a little problem” with Apple’s plan to ship iPhones from India

Donald Trump criticized Apple for planning to manufacture its iPhones in India as a way to evade tariffs, stating during his Qatar tour that he had "a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday" after Apple confirmed Indian factories would supply most U.S.-sold iPhones. He claimed Apple would "up their production in the United States," signaling a shift from earlier praise of Cook at an event in Riyadh this week, where Trump commended the company’s leadership despite his criticism of its production strategy. Apple has faced challenges in replicating its extensive Chinese supply chain and workforce in the U.S., complicating its transition to U.S.-based manufacturing.
