Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reportedly advised tech giant Apple not to shift its manufacturing operations to India. In a recent statement, Trump claimed that the Indian government had offered to eliminate all tariffs to attract Apple’s production facilities.
According to Trump, the move by New Delhi was aimed at becoming a central hub for Apple’s manufacturing, but he urged the company to retain or expand its production within the United States instead. He argued that American companies should prioritize domestic investment to strengthen the U.S. economy and create jobs at home.
Trump’s remarks come at a time when several global corporations are diversifying their manufacturing bases outside China, with India emerging as a key alternative. However, his comments may spark renewed debate over global supply chains, trade policies, and America’s role in shaping the future of high-tech manufacturing.
Industry experts are closely watching how Apple and other tech companies respond to the growing political attention surrounding their international operations.
