No. Corporations will have to accept slightly smaller profits. Perhaps cut the excessive salaries of CEOs.

Hahahaha, you think that mentality will EVER happen in a Capitalistic society?

Apple has $166B in cash on hand last I checked a couple of years ago. Look, I'm a free market capitalist, but not a supporter of robber barons. If they want to make socks and pencils in China ok, high tech is a different story.

You will never get away from the idea that money is power and power is money

His purview is a race to the bottom at any cost, it's governments role to try and reign them in from overextending.

Did you know that China had been listening into every American cell phones, including the president and JD Vance for years? Manufacturing there, especially the development of software, makes it so much easier. It is placing citizens at risk, wouldnt you agree?

Yes, but what does have to do with the OP? You think anything will change? Chinese will buy American companies and do the same thing

You cannot pretend to be playing from the same playbook as other nations who exploit the U.S. They aren't doing so, thus, America has to protect its national security................

You do that by playing "their" game and beating them at it....................that takes being better at science and research. We were once #1 and now we are in the teens
shockedcanadian said:
These corporations have made it clear "we are not American, we are an international corporation", They are American when they want your consumers, but not have to exert any loyalty. Thus, they should be treated as an international corporation without any loyalty. Pay a tariff. Just as the world banned for all intents and purposes Huawei was banned,

Nothing has worked. Did you know that Ford and others were using slave labour of prisoners in concentration camps in Germany during WWII?

Would some of these corporations in China today side with China over America if WWIII broke out?

At what point do we as a society say "you as a company cannot cross certain lines and have free access to our markets"?

It's time to roll back this experiment that will only lead to further human misery.

I agree with you that this is all wrong but one thing you need to realize is that humans have been all of that since they began and will be that until the earths end. Human nature cannot be changed. The only thing that can be done is regulate it so that the good done is more than the bad done. Trump does not believe in regulations, meaning the exact same problems will continue with the only change seen are the people doing it ...............Trump's buddies

Explain how Tim Cook (the decision maker) makes a difference in the cost of making IPhones in India or here, if making them cheaper in India allows him to sell them here to the point that 127 million Americans buy IPhones?

what you are too stupid to see, is that if Apple can set up a facility in India quickly, they can do it here. hahahahahahahahaha it's hilarious how ignorant you demofks really are.

Here is what needs to be considered:

AI Overview

If Apple moved iPhone production to the U.S., the price would likely increase significantly, possibly tripling. Estimates range from $1,500 to $3,500 for a US-made iPhone, depending on the specific model and cost projections.

and here is a fact that means that many Americans will be affected negatively by this:

AI Overview

In 2022, there were an estimated 124.7 million iPhone users in the United States. This represents a significant share of the US smartphone market, with iPhone having a 57.68% market share.

Is Trump really thinking about benefitting Americans?

It's actually rather stupid to depend on China to supply our chips to everything, including Iphones. How stupid can we get?

That'll just shift scores of thousands of users away from iPhones and send them to the Samsung-Android-Google side of the aisle.

Android phones are one helluva-lot better and do more and are far less expensive and more open-modeled anyway.

IPhone users have to kiss Apple's a$$ for their hardware and operating system and apps.

There's a lot more choice on the Android platform... whereas iPhones are as much a status symbol as anything.

A simple, inexpensive Android smartphone is the answer... iPhone security is better but Android is also very good.

Samsung is mostly manufacturing in Vietnam and India nowadays but at least they've closed-down operations in China.

Most Federal employees who have a Gubmint mobile phone have iPhones... but that could be changed fairly quickly.

Take the Gubmint contracts away from Apple and watch how fast they come crawling back with offers to relocate to the US.

And watch how fast those price estimates fall through the floor... iPhones are the only thing keeping Apple afloat.

If he heads in that direction I would fully support Trump "playing chicken" with Apple in order to force the issue.

Everyone is entitled to their preferences. My wife has the Android and I have the IPhone and I prefer mine 100 times over. I am constantly having to fix hers.

No pain no gain.
Giving up short term gratification for long term gain is maturity and lib loons have ZERO.
