$TRUMP threatens Apple

President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Apple products if iPhones are not manufactured in the United States. Trump stated in a post on the Truth Social platform: "I told Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, a long time ago that I expect iPhones sold in the United States to be made in the United States, not in India or anywhere else." If manufacturing does not occur in America, Apple will pay tariffs of no less than 25% to the United States.

This threat could lead to a significant increase in iPhone prices, which could harm the sales and profits of one of America's leading technology companies. Apple began shifting iPhone manufacturing to India as part of its supply chain adjustment, which may impact the final decision regarding the imposition of tariffs.¹ ²

*Potential impact on Apple:*

- *Price increase*: The imposition of tariffs may lead to increased iPhone prices, which could affect the company's sales.

- *Impact on profits*: Rising costs due to tariffs could reduce the company's profits.

- *Impact on supply chain*: Tariffs could lead to changes in Apple's supply chain, potentially affecting its business operations.
