In a surprising statement made during his recent visit to Qatar, US President Donald Trump said he had told Apple CEO Tim Cook that he did not want the tech giant to “build in India.” Trump expressed concerns over India’s high tariffs and indicated a preference for Apple to manufacture iPhones in the United States. However, government sources and Apple insiders have downplayed these comments, saying they will not impact the company’s investment plans in India.

Foxconn, one of Apple’s key manufacturing partners, has paused new rotations of Chinese workers to its iPhone factories in India, opting instead to send in Taiwanese workers, according to a report from Rest of World. This disruption, coupled with delays in critical shipments of manufacturing equipment, is expected to significantly impact Foxconn’s operations in India and potentially complicate Apple’s plans to diversify its iPhone production away from China.
