California AG Rob Bonta warns he may sue over Trump’s 25% tariff threats on Made-in-India iPhones. Trump urged Apple to manufacture in the US, leading to tensions as Apple planned US sales of India-made phones. Bonta vows to protect California companies’ rights amid trade disputes.
Donald Trump’s 25% tariff threats on Made-in-India iPhones could face a potential lawsuit from California Attorney General Rob Bonta. Earlier this week, Trump said he had told Apple CEO Tim Cook to fully manufacture iPhones in the US or face a 25% tariff on iPhones made in India or anywhere else in the world.
Notably, amid rising trade tensions and Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, Apple had planned to sell all of India-made iPhones in the US. However, Trump had told the company, “I hear you are building all over India. I don’t want you building in India… India can take care of themselves”
California AG Rob Bonta has now said that his office is currently monitoring the situation and will protect the rights of California companies, even from the President of the US.
