At a business summit in Doha, US President Donald Trump urged Apple CEO Tim Cook not to expand manufacturing in India, citing high tariffs and the need to prioritize US production. Trump stated, “India can take care of themselves,” and expressed disapproval of Apple’s growing presence in India. He added that Apple had committed $500 billion to the US and should remain focused there. His comments come as Apple accelerates India-based iPhone manufacturing to reduce reliance on China. Trump also claimed India offered a "zero-tariff" deal to the US—though no official confirmation has come from New Delhi. (PC: NDTV)
