US President Donald Trump has announced a proposed 50% tariff on all European Union goods starting June 1, citing stalled trade talks. In a social media post, Trump also warned Apple of a 25% tariff on iPhones not manufactured in the United States, demanding production shift from countries like India and Vietnam. Trump claims these measures aim to protect American jobs and manufacturing. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently confirmed increased production in India. The proposed tariffs mark a significant escalation in Trump’s global trade policies, potentially straining US-EU relations and affecting multinational companies like Apple. (PC: Getty Images)
