This will be even more. It will include Samsung and any company making that product. Otherwise, it will not be appropriate. When they build their own plant here, there is no tariff. But I agreed to him (Apple CEO Tim Cook) that he would not do so. He said that he is going to India to build a plant and I said that it is fine to go to India. But you will not be able to sell it here without tariff. IPhone, if they are going to sell in America, I want it to be made in America.

Earlier, Trump had said that he has asked Apple’s CEO Tim Cook to focus on making it in America instead of taking the production of iPhone to India. The last five years have emerged as a big hub of India iPhone production. In the last one year, Apple had made 60 % more phones in India.
During a business program in Doha, the US President said that he had a “slight problem” from Tim Cook. He said “I told him, my friend, I am taking care of you. You are bringing $ 500 billion, but now I am listening that you are building in the whole of India. I do not want you to build in India. You can build in India, if you want to take care of India, because India is one of the world’s highest tariffs (fees) countries, and something is very difficult to sell here.”
