During a governors&#8217; meeting, Trump stated that Apple CEO Tim Cook had pledged to increase production in\u200c America, referencing the halt of\u2064 two plants in Mexico and a commitment to significant \u200cinvestment\u2064 in\u2062 the\u200c U.S. this decision comes amidst Trump\u2019s ongoing trade\u2062 negotiations and tariff\u200b policies aimed at \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-reduces-support-for-s-arabia-in-another-boon-to-iran\/\" title=\"Biden reduces support for S. Arabia in another boon to Iran\">protecting american interests<\/a>, notably\u200c against \u2064Chinese imports.<\/p>\n<p>Trump emphasized that Apple&#8217;s move is largely motivated by the desire\u2062 to avoid tariffs that are currently affecting their business model. While \u2064specific details on which Apple projects would be affected are unclear, foxconn Technology Group,\u200d a major contractor \u2064for Apple, has announced plans for\u2064 expansion in Mexico. The announcement illustrates the delicate balance Apple must\u2064 navigate between its manufacturing base in China \u200cand its consumer market in the U.S., as Trump\u2019s tariff strategies continue to create challenges for the\u200b tech \u200bgiant.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Trump&#8217;s recent tariffs \u200con mexico aimed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/middle-eastern-illegal-immigrants-overwhelming-finlands-border-at-russias-direction-finnish-government-says\/\" title=\"Finland&#039;s government claims Middle Eastern illegal immigrants are flooding its border under Russia&#039;s guidance\">combating \u200cillegal immigration<\/a> may also have influenced this shift.

Cook&#8217;s\u200d relationship with Trump has previously allowed Apple to\u200d obtain exceptions from tariffs, but the current climate is shifting towards fewer \u2064exemptions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Apple would shift more manufacturing from Mexico to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The commander-in-chief told a meeting of governors that Apple CEO Tim Cook promised him during a meeting at the White House that the firm would build more products in America, per a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-02-20\/apple-s-tim-cook-meeting-with-trump-as-tariffs-threaten-iphones?embedded-checkout=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> from Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said that Cook &ldquo;stopped two plants in Mexico&rdquo; and vowed substantial investment into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They don&rsquo;t want to be in the tariffs,&rdquo; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg noted that it wasn&rsquo;t clear which specific Apple manufacturing projects Trump was referencing, but that Foxconn Technology Group, which manufactures iPhones, has a manufacturing presence in Mexico that the company plans to increase.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>The move indeed comes after Trump used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/flashback-bidens-commerce-secretary-admitted-trumps-tariffs-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tariffs<\/a> in various negotiations in order to advance American interests.<\/p>\n<p>Trump placed a 10 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/china-retaliates-trumps-tariffs-google-caught-crossfire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tariff<\/a> on all Chinese goods, which Trump said was an effort to pressure the communist nation toward decreasing fentanyl trafficking ino the United States.<\/p>\n<p>China responded with a 10 percent tariff on American crude oil, agriculture equipment, large cars, and pickup trucks, as well as an additional 15 percent tariff on coal and natural gas.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg reported that Cook, who has sought to gain favor with Trump in recent months, could risk placing Apple in the middle of a trade war between China and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The former country is the technology giant&rsquo;s major manufacturing center, while the latter is the home of its largest consumer market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-gets-mark-zuckerberg-jeff-bezos-tim-cook-attend-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cook<\/a> was able to use his relationship with Trump during his first term to secure tariff carveouts for the iPhone, according to Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>But Trump has told reporters that he is trying to avoid exemptions this time around.<\/p>\n<p>Cook d on social media after Trump&rsquo;s election that Apple looked &ldquo;forward to engaging with you and your administration to help make sure the United States continues to lead with and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump also implemented 25 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-pauses-tariffs-mexican-president-makes-major-border-concession\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tariffs<\/a> on Mexico earlier this month in an effort to pressure the Latin American country to help the United States crack down on illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>But he temporarily lifted the tariffs after an agreement was reached.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico.
