Peter Navarro, the U.S. President Donald Trump Trade Advisor, sharply criticized the Executive Director of the Apple of the Cook team due to, as he claims, “a long-term procrastination with the transfer of China.”
“From the first trump term, Tim Cook is constantly looking for more time to transfer the factory from China,” said Navarro in an interview for CNBC-EV Squawk on the Street. “It’s the longest soapy of silicon valleys.”
Apple did not advertise on the occasion of Navar’s statement.
Trump is increasingly pressing Apple to move the production of iPhone from China to the United States. Although the company has increased production in India, in part in order to avoid customs customs, the US president announces, the US president and it considers inadmissible.
In May, Trump said that Apple would have to pay a customs from 25% or more for each iPhone produced outside the US. In one of the statements he discovered what he ordered Cook: “I don’t want you to produce in India.”
And while numerous global supply chain experts claim that the relocation of the iPhone would be technically and financially impossible to estimate that then the then devices cost up to $ 3,500 – Navarro claims that the COOK team has not done enough.
“Given the new advanced production technologies, the development of artificial intelligence and everything else, I am unthinkable that Team Cook cannot produce an iPhone anywhere, including now,” he said.
Apple currently very small part of its devices are produced within the US. During the Trump’s first term, the company promised to assemble Mac Pro in Texas – a device whose price reaches $ 3,000.
In February this year, Apple announced investments worth $ 500 billion in the USA, including the installation of artificial intelligence servers.
