Make iPhones in US instead of India: Trump to Apple CEO
Thursday, 15 May 2025 () Donald Trump has urged Apple CEO Tim Cook to shift iPhone production from India to the US, despite Apple's plans to source most US-bound iPhones from India. Trump mentioned a potential tariff-free deal from India, amidst ongoing trade tensions and retaliatory tariff threats. While Apple pledged a significant US investment, cheaper labor drives production to India and China.
Donald Trump sparks a fresh controversy by opposing Apple’s iPhone manufacturing expansion in India. Speaking from Qatar, Trump revealed he told Apple CEO Tim Cook to halt plans and focus on U.S. job creation. He accused India of imposing “very high tariffs” and claimed India is now willing to...
President Trump warned of imposing 50% tariffs on European Union products, citing stalled trade negotiations. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump hinted the new tariffs could extend to tech giants like Apple and Samsung, with a possible rollout in late June. While expressing hope for a fair agreement, Trump’s aggressive stance signals escalating tension between the U.S. and EU. Markets and global tech firms are closely watching, as Trump’s trade war rhetoric sharpens once again—this time aimed squarely at Europe.

President Donald Trump has issued a broad warning to tech companies that manufacture smartphones abroad, declaring that a 25% tariff will apply not just to Apple but to any firm — including Samsung — that doesn’t shift production to the United States. Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized fairness and announced that the new tariffs are expected to be finalized by the end of June. The move signals a dramatic escalation in his economic nationalism and could have major repercussions on global smartphone pricing and tech supply chains.

President Donald Trump has threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if it continues manufacturing iPhones outside the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned CEO Tim Cook that iPhones sold in America must be built domestically—not in India or elsewhere. The warning follows Cook’s recent statement that most iPhones in the US will soon originate from India. Although finished smartphones currently enjoy tariff exemptions, Trump’s aggressive trade policies may disrupt Apple’s global supply chains and cost the company nearly $900 million this quarter alone.

Tensions between U.S President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have reached a boiling point. In this video, we break down the most dramatic moments — from Trump saying he’s “not thinking about Elon,” to potential reviews of Tesla’s billion-dollar federal contracts.
We also cover the fallout: a $150 billion Tesla stock crash, Musk’s public condemnation of Trump’s tax bill, and the revocation of support for Musk ally Jared Isaacman at NASA. Is this the beginning of a political war between the most powerful man in America and the richest man in the world?

U.S. President Donald Trump has sanctioned four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges for pursuing war crimes investigations against American and Israeli troops over actions in Gaza and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the ICC’s actions as illegitimate and a threat to U.S. sovereignty. Netanyahu praised the move, calling the ICC charges political. The ICC, EU, and UN strongly opposed the sanctions, warning they undermine global justice and shield war criminals from accountability.

As the Trump–Musk feud dominates global headlines, Moscow is watching with popcorn in hand. Russian leaders, from ex-presidents to space chiefs, are trolling both men with job offers, sarcastic peace talks, and tech freedom promises. Elon Musk was invited to move his ventures to Russia, while Trump’s drama was dismissed as typical American chaos. Kremlin figures say the distraction benefits Russia, with one nationalist even calling it “the best time to strike Ukraine.” This bizarre turn of geopolitics is half mockery, half opportunity—for Russia, it’s a win either way.
