Trump threatened Apple with 25% tariffs unless the company starts making their iPhones in the United States. His threat came after Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company would continue manufacturing phones in India to avoid expensive prices for Americans.

The extra tariff added to all iPhones imported in the US may not have been about bringing manufacturing back to the US, but specifically to reprimand Tim Cook for skipping a Trump event.

"If that is not the case, a tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the US."Adding uncertainty to his ultimatum, Trump later said the tariff wouldn't apply to just the iPhone but also to any smartphone made outside the US.
