Trump and his team are NOT consulting widely in all his economic policies. Too many changes. He seems to just be making noise. He has announced exemption of smartphones and computers. He would still announced exemption of other household items.

EmperorIsaac:
Phones have been exempt from tarrifs!

He doesn't want the local capacity anymore?

Jayboi:
Trump wey no dey think of implications. I like as China de give am wotowoto

It's time to use your brain. The only reason why a US-made iPhone will be so expensive is because the US ceded manufacturing to China, and over time, China got better and could do it cheaper.
If the US continues this way, in the next 20 years, it will be impossible to make anything in the US. Someone had to say no and reverse the trend.

They can afford it. People than can afford sex change as they like.

Here is the thing, make China built Iphones and import them to Nigeria and our people here will smuggled the iPhone to the US and sell at high price just like drugs,, I hope I made myself clear

The clown of president has just issued a bunch of waivers for China imports that include IPhone

You are not yet strong enough to beat China

Lol. Trump has caved in again. Now 2 times within the last 24 hours. The rich oligarchs in his team have put him under immense pressure.

He just exempted smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives and computer processors and memory chips from the 125% tariffs.

He felt China is like EU, Canada and the likes. He is still dreaming of a call for negotiations from Xi.

Whereas, China has slammed the USA a further increase in their tariff to 125%.

The point is more countries are trying to make friends with China now, b'coz its hard to trust US leadership for direction any further from this point. So, they can gradually diversify their exports.

More so, Chinese has been used to suffering for decades, so they will adapt, but Americans can't manage real suffering. .

The cards are actually with China, and that's why they have been very quiet.

Trump has just made a very big fool of himself globally.

Okete001:
How much now?

BTW, we are still waiting for those animals threatening to burn down Yoruba churches.

E no go beta for dem and their 5th generation if they don’t start to burn Yoruba churches on their Godforsaken region.

One church = 100 shops

abeg hide this ur madness at times

CodeTemplarr:
Their high labour wages is another barrier. Who will want high labour cost to be passed to him or her when cheaper Chinese option is there. I expect smuggling to peak as they enforce their tariffs.

They need to cancel that bullshit, its killing their economy

dibunotion:
Labour wage would be the major problem.
Trump just have an over bloated ego.
No thanks to his supporters.
Sebi china don fold am

Where do you guys get these "fake news" from? This is totally untrue.

Apple should develop an AI-enabled industrial process to drive the production of their smartphones. That way, iDevices can be affordable even if they are made in America.

This is untrue. China is being hit harder by the sanctions! You can bet that China will eventually call the U.S to negotiate. You can save this post and quote if if this turns otherwise.

Aldebaran:


Even “Make America Great Again“ cap is made in CHINA

It's like Trump was sent to torment the Americans.

CoronaVirusPro:
Manufacturing is impossible in th US if any company wants to stay competitive
Outrightly impossible!
Trump is living in delusion and cannot face the reality staring at him.

What I hate most is that we are living in a time where we claim equal rights, human rights, minimum wage, human dignity.
Yes.
But we depend on goods and services (food, gadgets) from people that are treated and paid like SHIT.
Lithium batteries for elecric car and phones mined by children slaves in congo.
Iphone and other gadgets manufactured by chinese, Taiwanese at slave labour rate.
Next day Amazon delivery from workers working 7 days a week, standing earning mininum or less wage.
Every Billion Dollar CEO is VERY HAPPY to NOT pay workers or treat them like SHIT.
-
A time of paradox.
That's why that Luigi guy, in US that shot and killed the CEO of a health insurance company is still there.
The law wants to condemn him for murder. But all the people are praising him for killing the HEARTLESS CEO.
This is the type of SHIT time we're living in.
Claiming to be civil and just. BUT using the other hand to KILL and destroy others in the most coded fashion.
And when you fall into suffering, some 'bastards' will say, 'Eh, it's because you were not sharp/smart'.

SouthSouth1914:
Try aim for your 3 square meals a day. Stop this dry joke!

Don't mind am him no know saying a 3 square meal is another iPhone budget on it own

lol. The only major thing (amongst others) that China imports from US are Soya beans, which they easily can get cheaper alternatives from other countries.

Most of the things US imports from China cannot be accessed elsewhere for now. Apple, Tesla, Nike will quickly get choked-out. His eyes are clear now.

US has the biggest economy in the world. There is no way China can survive for long without selling to the U.S. Lets just wait and see. Iran is already making plans to negotiate trade deals with the U.S.

You have made so much sense in a post.

The comments here shows why Nigeria is in shambles.

Does not bother me, i have never used an Iphone, I like Android .

As long as it can do what i need it to do. And soon Tesla will make it possible to have satellite network on mobile phones in any part of the world, provided it is LTE enabled .

Good for them.

Because of their greediness, they'll have no option than to pay.
Well those who can't afford it can switch.

Trump is turning everything upside down…assuming he wants his tariff on China to work … all he needs is to open the door for immigrants from poorer countries who will come to work at the assembling factories … but now he is even fighting against immigration.. when we all know that Americans will never work in iPhone factories

You go wait tire The last time a Chinese President ever called a US President was a condolence message for 9/11

It's basic high school economics or geography.

They don’t intend for people but robot/AI to make it hence why they were prepared to carry out mass culling of humans.

Safe to say even the Almighty America is a mostly consuming country.

iphones, be specific

They don't have the earth metals either.

US is cooked.

Why?

If the US economy didn't exist, won't the world go on?

Una like to post nonsense....
