Mumbai: The president of the USA, Donal Trump in his latest tweet rejected the apple company of any relief in tariffs to import goods from China. Mr Trump in his tweet asked the company to assemble their products in the US.
“Apple will not be given tariff waivers or relief for Mac pro parts that are made in China. Make them in the USA, no Tariffs!” he said.

The apple company amid of the business war between the USA and China had approached the white house with an appeal to waiver their tariffs for the parts imported from China, as the company strongly depended on the Chinese products and workers.
Complying with the 25 per cent tariff of imported goods from China would lead to an increase in the cost of the final product which in turn would reduce the sales. The company has asked to waive taxes on the fifteen components for Mac pro, that will later be released in the USA.
Some of the components were the power supply unit and stainless steel structural enclosure. Most of the products are assembled in the Chinese industry though the design is made in the USA.
According to the sources, Apple products cannot be made without Chinese suppliers, because of the low wages and highly skilled individuals and natural infrastructure. It’ll be difficult for Apple to shift from China to other countries due to the high price. Not just the industry, China also has a market of 1.4 billion people out of which 400 million falls under the middle-class category.
Mr Trump’s decision might become the reason for Apple’s hampered growth in all of it’s sector’s right from hi-tech features to it’s sales in the Asia part as most of the Chinese are already lured towards Huwaei.
