Trump tweeted Friday that Apple should instead make the components in the United States.
President Trump rejected Apple Inc.’s bid to avoid tariffs on some computer parts it manufactures in China, tweeting Friday that the company should instead make the components in the United States.
An Apple spokesman declined to comment, but the company previously has said that “final assembly is only one part of the manufacturing process.” Apple filed requests for exclusions from the 25% tariff on 15 components or products. There’s an open comment period until Aug. 1 before the administration would consider the requests, and the company has seven days to reply to each comment.
The Mac Pro historically has been one of Apple’s lowest-volume computers, and given its already high price, the tariffs on this particular product shouldn’t have a significant effect on Apple’s bottom line. The company is scheduled to report earnings Tuesday, and executives are likely to be asked about Apple’s supply chain in light of the U.S.-China trade war.
