In May, Trump had warned that iPhones made outside the U.S. could face a tariff of 25% or more.

With all these new advanced manufacturing techniques and the way things are moving with AI and things like that, it's inconceivable to me that Tim Cook could not produce his iPhones elsewhere around the world and in this country.'
