US President Donald Trump asserted that he spoke to Apple Inc CEO Tim Cook in Doha, Qatar and told him there is no need to construct factories in India unless it is to serve that market specifically.
“I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,” Trump said of his conversation with the Apple chief executive in Qatar, where he is on a state visit. “He is building all over India. I don’t want you building in India.” As a result of their discussion, Trump said Apple will be “upping their production in the United States.”
Earlier this month, Cook stated that India will play a significant role in making iPhones destined for the US market. "A majority of iPhones sold in the US will have India as their country of origin," Cook said while announcing the tech giant's latest quarterly results. The statement comes as Apple looks at ways to navigate the impact of Trump's tariff onslaught on its supply chains as well as sales and profit margins.
Apple manufactures most of its iPhones in China and has no smartphone production in the US.
