And later told reporters, the iPhone, if they're going to sell it in America, I want it to be built in the U.S. This marks a shift from the cordial relationship during Trump's first term when Apple secured tariffs exemption as Cook now faces pressure despite a $500 billion U.S. investment pledge, including a new Texas factory.
