In a tweet, Trump said there’s an “easy solution” to Apple’s potential woes that also came with a tax break: “Make your products in the United States instead of China. Earlier this week, Apple said in a regulatory filing that the president’s proposed $200 billion in fresh tariffs on China would cover “a wide range of Apple products,” from its Mac Mini computer to cables, chargers and laptop cases. Since then, though, Trump has threatened an additional $267 billion of tariffs on China, a move revealed Friday that could cover virtually all Chinese-made goods entering the United States. Some components for Apple products, including glass from manufacturers like Corning, are made in the United States, the company has said. Trump previously has claimed that Apple is building new plants in the United States, but the iPhone maker has not announced any such plans.
