Samsung and ‘anybody’ making smartphones outside of US subject to same tariff as iPhone, Trump says

President Trump has confirmed that the 25% tariff mentioned for iPhone earlier today will also apply to Samsung and “anybody” making smartphones outside of the United States. Earlier today, Donald Trump announced via social media that Apple would be subject to a 25% tariff on iPhones sold in the United States that were not manufactured in the country, as the President has been demanding Apple to move its production to the US. Apple’s production is currently primarily in China and partially in India. Now, Trump has clarified that, yes, this same 25% tariff will apply to “anybody” selling smartphones in the US that are not made in the US, specifically calling out Samsung. “Otherwise it would be fair,” Trump says in a video posted by @Acyn on Twitter/X. The news was also reported by Reuters and The Wall Street Journal. Trump adds that these tariffs will kick in towards “the end of June.” Advertisement - scroll for more content Reporter: On Apple, you said if they do not make their iP ... Read full article.
