Tim Cook, Trump Discuss U.S. Manufacturing Shifts

Apple CEO Tim Cook met with President Donald Trump at the White House, where Trump claimed Cook promised to shift some Apple manufacturing from Mexico to the U.S., though reports dispute this claim since Apple has no manufacturing facilities in Mexico. The meeting likely focused on trade issues, including the impact of tariffs on Chinese goods affecting Apple's pricing strategies. While Trump stated Apple would invest significantly in the U.S., details remain unclear, and Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, continues its manufacturing presence in Mexico. Apple's manufacturing remains predominantly in China, with some operations expanding to India and Vietnam. Cook engaged with the administration to negotiate favorable terms amid U.S.-China trade tensions and potential tariffs.
