Another Big Shock To India From Trump, Modi Sits With His Head Held High

 The True Post(Web News) US President Donald Trump played an important role in preventing a war between Pakistan and India.

Trump had urged both countries to stop the war and trade with them. Now US President Donald Trump has pressured Apple CEO Tim Cook not to move iPhone production to India. According to a global news agency, President Trump expressed his displeasure over Apple’s increasing investment in India and said that he had a little argument with Apple’s CEO the other day. According to Donald Trump, he told Tim Cook, “My friend, I have treated you very well, but now I hear that you plan to do large-scale production in India. I do not want that to happen.” Donald Trump said in his statement that Apple had earlier promised to invest $ 500 billion in the United States and now it should contribute more to the American economy.

The US President claimed that Apple is increasing iPhone production in the US but did not provide any details. On the other hand, Apple is currently working to increase its production in India and is expected to manufacture 25% of the world’s iPhones there in the next few years. This move by Apple is part of a strategy to reduce dependence on China, where most of Apple’s flagship iPhones are still manufactured. Apple’s manufacturing partner Foxconn recently received approval from the Indian government to build a semiconductor plant in collaboration with HCL Group. Donald Trump also mentioned trade relations between the US and India in his statement. He described India as the world’s highest tariff payer, but also said that India has offered to eliminate some tariffs under the recent trade deal proposal. It may be recalled that in April, the US imposed a 26% tariff on Indian products under a new trade policy, which is currently in effect on a temporary basis. Although Apple manufactures the Mac Pro in the US and plans to build servers for its AI system in Texas. However, experts say that mass production of iPhones in the US is not currently possible because the price per phone could increase from $1,500 to $3,500.
