Trump is not playing games with anyone even US companies.
Apple Faces $100 Billion Blow After Trump’s “Made in America” Ultimatum
Apple shares plunged nearly 4% Friday morning after President Donald J. Trump issued a direct warning to the tech giant: if Apple continues building iPhones overseas, the company will face a massive 25% tariff.
The stock dropped from $201.36 on Thursday to a low of $193.46 by Friday morning—erasing nearly $100 billion in market value. The sudden sell-off followed a post on Truth Social in which Trump stated that Apple “must” pay the tariff if iPhones are made anywhere other than the United States.
Trump Doubles Down on Bringing Jobs Back to America
This is the latest move in President Trump’s ongoing mission to revive American manufacturing. He’s made it clear: powerful companies like Apple will be held accountable if they send American jobs abroad.
For millions of Americans—especially seniors and retirees who’ve seen the damage of outsourcing firsthand—this message hits home. Trump’s America First policies aim to restore economic independence and national pride.
Apple CEO Shifts Focus to India, Risks U.S. Backlash
Apple CEO Tim Cook recently stated that most iPhones sold in the U.S. will soon come from factories in India. This shift is seen by many as a strategy to avoid Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports, as reported by the Financial Times.
But the move could backfire. With over 60 million iPhones sold annually in the United States, Americans are watching closely. Many are questioning why a company profiting off U.S. consumers refuses to build its products on U.S. soil.
American Consumers Want Accountability
President Trump’s push for domestic production isn’t just about economics—it’s about principle. The American people deserve products made with pride at home—not outsourced to the cheapest bidder.
If Apple wants the continued support of the American market, it may have no choice but to bring jobs back to where they belong: the United States of America.
