Trump Mobile Drops 'Made in USA' Phone Claim

Trump Mobile, now described as a venture of the Trump Organization rather than a licensed product, has removed explicit 'Made in the USA' claims for its upcoming T1 smartphone, instead using more ambiguous patriotic language. This change follows skepticism from industry experts, who note the U.S. lacks the supply chain needed for domestic smartphone production. Despite the website update, company spokespeople continue to insist the phone is made in America. However, analysts contend the T1 is likely produced abroad, most probably in China, due to feasibility and cost issues. The controversy underscores the challenges of reshoring high-tech manufacturing, a key point in Donald Trump’s economic agenda. Critics argue the episode shows that U.S.-made smartphones remain unrealistic at present.
