'No More Indian Workers, Or China Factories': Trump's Blunt Warning To US Tech Giants Like Apple
/ Jul 24, 2025, 11:32AM IST
US President Donald Trump has launched a bold new 'America's AI Action Plan,' vowing to reclaim tech dominance from China, but he's also aiming directly at India. In a fiery speech, Trump criticized tech giants like Apple and Tesla for relying on Indian workers and Chinese factories. 'No more iPhones from India,' Trump warned, threatening a 25% import tax on Apple and Samsung if they don't build in the USA. The plan, detailed in a 25-page document, calls for accelerating AI innovation, building US infrastructure, and halting foreign dependence. Trump's message is clear: American AI should be made in America. But this could disrupt India's IT sector, outsourcing industry, and its growing role in global tech. Is India being unfairly targeted? Or is this the start of a global AI war? #trump #ai #india #china #trumpvsindia #apple #outsourcing #indiantech #aiwar #americaai #usachinawar #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

Gold steady amid Trump's 100% tariff threat on chip imports and trade tensions
Gold held a moderate loss, as traders looked past uncertainty created by US President Donald Trump's latest trade moves, including threatening a 100% tariff on chip imports. Traders also watched for Trump's nomination within days of a temporary Federal Reserve governor who is expected to be more aligned with his agenda to ease monetary policy.(AFP File Photo) Bullion was steady around $3,370 an ounce after a 0.3% decline in the previous session. This came after Trump said he would impose a 100% levy on semiconductor imports in a bid to force companies to move production back to the US. Meanwhile, relations with key trade partners soured, with the US leader doubling the tariff on Indian goods to 50% over the South Asian country's continued purchases of energy from Russia. Japan may also face higher duties than agreed last month on some products, Kyodo reported. Traders also watched for Trump's nomination within days of a temporary Federal Reserve governor who is expected to be more aligned with his agenda to ease monetary policy. Lower rates benefit gold, which doesn't yield interest. The precious metal's recent rally has been driven by rising expectation of rate cuts. Central bank buying and a broad trend of diversifying away from US dollar-denominated assets have also offered support. It's climbed nearly 30% this year, though the bulk of its gains happened in the first four months, as geopolitical and trade tensions rattled the market. Gold was 0.1% higher at $3,373.45 an ounce as of 8:42 a.m. in Singapore. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was steady. Silver, palladium and platinum all rose.
