President Donald Trump said he’s asked Apple’s Tim Cook to stop building plants in India to make devices for the US, pushing the iPhone maker to add domestic production as it pivots away from China. “I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,” Trump said of his conversation with the Apple chief executive officer in Qatar, where he’s on a state visit. “He is building all over India. I don’t want you building in India.” As a result of their discussion, Trump said Apple will be “upping their production in the United States.” Trump’s comments throw a wrench into Apple’s plan to import most of the iPhones it sells in the US from India by the end of next year, accelerating a shift beyond China to mitigate risks related to tariffs and geopolitical tensions. Trump also said the US might be getting closer to an agreement with Iran to curb the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
“I think we’re getting close to maybe doing a deal,” Trump said in Qatar at an event with business leaders on Thursday.
