On May 15, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump publicly disclosed that he had advised Apple CEO Tim Cook against expanding iPhone production in India. During a business event in Doha, Trump expressed his concerns, stating, "I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday. I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good. You're coming here with $500 billion, but now I hear you're building all over India. I don't want you building in India."
Trump's remarks come in the context of Apple's strategic move to diversify its manufacturing base beyond China, with India emerging as a significant hub. Apple has been ramping up its production in India, and earlier this month, Tim Cook indicated that a majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. would soon be manufactured in India.
The former president criticized India's high tariff barriers, describing it as "one of the highest-tariff nations in the world," making it challenging to sell American products there. He emphasized that Apple should focus on increasing its manufacturing operations within the United States, asserting, "We're not interested in you building in India. India can take care of themselves."
Following their discussion, Trump mentioned that Apple would be "upping their production in the United States," although specific details about changes to Apple's manufacturing plans were not disclosed.
This development underscores the ongoing tensions between global manufacturing strategies and national economic policies, particularly in the tech industry where supply chain diversification is increasingly pivotal.
