Trump trade advisor bashes Tim Cook for Silicon Valley's 'longest-running soap opera'
Briefly

Peter Navarro criticized Apple CEO Tim Cook for not doing enough to shift manufacturing out of China, referring to it as a prolonged 'soap opera' scenario. Navarro indicated that it is inconceivable for Apple to not relocate its production elsewhere. Apple has recently increased its production in India, yet still, President Trump's administration demonstrates ongoing displeasure. Although Apple plans to invest $500 billion in U.S. projects, producing iPhones in America may not be feasible due to high costs and supply chain complexities.
"Tim Cook has continually asked for more time in order to move his factories out of China. My problem with Tim Cook is he never takes the steps to actually do that."
"I mean it's the longest-running soap opera in Silicon Valley. It's inconceivable that Apple couldn't move manufacturing elsewhere."
