Apple vs Trump: Who is right?
Assessment of News Source: "Apple vs Trump" is the article was found on USA Today. USA Today is the internationally distributed American daily, the middle-market newspaper has a generally centrist audience. Found by Al-Neuharth on September 15, 1982. It operates from Gannett's corporate headquarters on Jones Branch Drive, McLean, Virginia. USA Today is known to be impartial and marked more towards middle-class Americans.
Summary of Article: This article is talking about that Trump wants to create iPhone in the United States instead of China. Trump wants to build factories in the USA, and make iPhones here, instead of China, "There would be zero tax and indeed a tax incentive". Trump agrees with Apple with potential tariffs on Chinese imports could make its gadgets more expensive, but he says the tech company can fix the problem by moving production to the United States. The Trump administration has imposed tariffs of $50 billion on imports from China and is moving to add 25 percent duties on another $200 billion in goods.
Analysis: The goal of this article is that the U.S. will get more work place. Chinese workers are trained at how to handle the assembly of products like the iPhone in a way that our universities don't do here. This is a company with about $250 billion in the bank and Apple wanted to invest in American workers by funding and opening a trade school, thousands would apply. Especially with the caveat of a good, steady job after completion of the program.
Opinion: In my personal opinion, making iPhones in the U.S., then factories will require more labors, moreover, it means there will be more places to work. On Trump side, making factories in the United States is one of the promises to citizens. I know it is good for the U.S. citizens but it should make trouble with China.
