President Trump announced that he would impose sweeping tariffs on smartphone manufacturers to encourage them to make phones in the United States. First, in a social media post earlier on Friday, he said these tariffs would apply specifically to Apple at a rate of 25%. However, during a White House briefing later, he said similar tariffs would also apply to other manufacturers, calling out Samsung specifically. Of course, Samsung is not an American company, so we’re not sure why it would ever need to make phones here.The problem here is that what President Trump seems to want is impossible. Apple, Samsung, Google, and all other smartphone manufacturers simply cannot make a phone in the USA. It is almost as impossible as hopping into a toy plane for a ride to the Belgian Congo in 17 minutes. Do you think Tump is becoming unreasonable ?
