Donald Trump met Tim Cook in the White House with Apple CEO on Thursday, and the president reported that the iPhone manufacturer had decided to stop the construction of two factories in Mexico and instead build them here in the USA.
The tariffs are stunning, said the President on Friday reporters:
Tim Cook … from Apple. He invests hundreds of billions of dollars. … I hope he announced it. I hope I haven’t announced that, but what the hell? All I do is the truth. He told me that. Now he has to do it, right?
… but he invests hundreds of billions of dollars, and others will also come in many chip manufacturers, many car manufacturers came in. They stopped two plants in Mexico, they were under construction and started the construction. They just stopped them, they will build here instead because they don’t want to pay the tariffs. The tariffs are incredible.
… I got myself into great difficulties – I said it is my favorite word in the dictionary, the word “tariff”. It’s such a nice word and the wrong news killed me. You said what about love, what about God, what about the family? And they said I am in trouble. I said it is now my fourth favorite word. [Laughter].
I said, dear, God, family, a few others that I could add there too, but it’s my fourth favorite word.

As promised, Trump is enacted mutual tariffs – start the liberal freakout
It remains to be seen which exact plants are Trump Proof on:
It is not clear which production options Trump were related, although the Foxconn Technology Group – which the company’s iPhones produces – already has a great production promotion in Mexico and has announced plans to expand the footprint there.

As we have reported, Tech Execs sing a completely different melody in Trump 2.0 after many of them were involved for the first time. News. Now Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg has visited Mar-A-Lago to smoke the peace tube, X owners Elon Musk leads the Doge and Cook is busy playing in the White House.
He has reason to bend his knee:
Cook is one of the executives of the tech industry who have maintained a close relationship with the president since its re-election, participating in his inauguration last month and traveling to his Mar-Lago estate in Florida during the president’s transition.
The company risks to be caught in the middle of an escalating commercial struggle between the USA and China, with Trump’s 10% tariff for the goods produced by Chinia for Apple a challenge, since it concerns the sluggish iPhone sale. China is burdening an investigation into Apple’s guidelines and the fees that it calculates for app developers. China is Apple’s largest production center while the United States is its largest market.
It is only more profit from Donald Trump, and contrary to the mainstream press, it does not get aged and very few -if not -the Republicans regret their voice.
