New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has objected to Apple’s plan to increase iPhone production in India. Trump told Apple CEO Tim Cook that if you are planning to increase iPhone production in India, then stop it. However, government sources in India have cited Apple Company officials, saying that there will be no decrease in Apple’s investment plan in India. The company plans to produce more than 60 million iPhones in India by 2026.
US President Donald Trump told Apple CEO Tim Cook during a business round table meeting in Doha that he had some trouble with Tim Cook. Yesterday I told him, “Team, you are my friend, I have treated you very well.” You are investing $ 500 billion in America. But I have heard that you are increasing iPhone production in India. I do not want you to increase production in India. If you want to take care of India, you can build in India. Since India is one of the most tariffs in the world, it is very difficult to sell things in India.
He said, “I told the team,” We have seen the manufacturing units you have been created for years in China. “Now you should build an iPhone in America. We are not interested in your production in India. India can take care of itself. We do not want you to produce there. Trump said that Apple will increase its production in the US after this conversation.
Distance from Putin from peace discussion, command of Russia-Ukraine talks in the hands of senior officials
Apple will invest $ 500 billion in the US in four years. However, Apple has no smartphone manufacturing unit in the US. However, Trump did not say anything about the result of the discussion or any change in Apple’s plans in India.
Meanwhile, government sources said that after Trump’s statement, Indian officials spoke to the company officials of Cupertino.
He assured that Apple’s investment plans in India would remain intact and the company will move towards making India an important manufacturing center for its products. 15 percent of global iPhone production or 40 million iPhones are produced in India. Foxconn, Tata Electronics and Patron India manufacture iPhones in India.
Apple used to build a large -scale iPhone in China on a large scale, but after the Corona period, Apple started distance from China. After the Korona period, Apple has been stuck in the Tariff War between the US and China in the Trump administration, due to which it has decided to leave China and increase production in India. Along with this, Apple has planned to produce 60 million iPhones by 2026 by transferring its manufacturing unit to India. Currently, China is dominated by iPhone production. However, amidst the tariff war with China, Apple imported the iPhone manufactured in India to the US.
