Former US President Donald Trump has delivered a bold message to Apple CEO Tim Cook, “stay out of India” . During a conversation centered around Apple’s expanding interest in India, Trump made it clear that the United States should not be overly concerned with India’s affairs.
“We’re not interested,” Trump said, while urging Cook to concentrate on domestic matters. “India can take care of itself.” The comment came in response to Apple’s growing operations and manufacturing shift towards India, a move seen as part of the company’s global diversification strategy.
Trump’s remarks suggest that he views India as a strong and self-reliant nation, capable of handling its own economy and tech infrastructure without outside interference or assistance.
He emphasized that American companies should prioritize investment and job creation within the United States rather than seeking opportunities abroad. The former president’s comments are aligned with his longstanding “America First” approach, aimed at strengthening domestic industries and reducing dependency on foreign markets.
While Apple continues to expand in India, including assembling iPhones locally, Trump’s statement adds a new dimension to the ongoing dialogue between tech giants and political leaders over globalization, trade, and economic strategy.
His firm words serve as a reminder of the geopolitical balance in business decisions and the evolving role of nations like India on the global stage.
