So Trump says Mr Cook told him they would stop the two factories they were building in Mexico and instead build them in the US. Sounds typically Trumpian.
AFAICT the factories Trump refers to belong to TSMC, and are (were) intended to produce some Apple chips in addition to components for other companies. They are not "Apple factories".
Secondly he mumbled Apple is building automobiles here in the US and fabbing a new plant for it, and hopes he didn't leak news ahead of Mr. Cook ?? I suspect that one is a misstatement.
Remember this Trump announcement?
President Donald Trump recently commented that Apple intends to locate three large manufacturing plants within the U.S., according to an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Slap on some tariffs, as much as you want, and Apple consumers will cough up the cash—because you can bet the shareholders won’t be the ones taking the hit. The King’s tax always rolls downhill!
