More than half a dozen big tech companies wrote to the Trump Administration this week asking it not to hit the products they produce in China with additional tariffs

New York Technology companies have been feeling the sting of the escalating trade war between the United States and China. Now, they're trying to avoid a proposed new round of tariffs that takes aim at many American tech products.

. The White House has proposed a bill that would place a 25% tariff on $300 billion in Chinese goods not already subject to tariffs. The tariff would apply to a wide range of products, from live buffalo and primates to T-shirts and shoes. It would also cover laptops, video game consoles, battery cases and other products that tech companies say would increase costs for consumers or harm their abilities to make a profit.

If you hit us with tariffs.... the child labor and deplorable conditions will mean nothing, and cut into are profits?

And l bet he obliges (for another cut of the action)

Hilarious... or, maybe they can bring manufacturing to the US

Hell naw.... make that sh!t here timapple

So basically Apple just admitted that their monopoly on America could be hurt by tariffs

Screw these companies who choose profits and slave labor over the pride and quality of being made in the USA

Funny how the greed for cheap labor keeps winding up costing everyone more. Apple et. al. has no one to blame but themselves. I guess a 'living wage' is only for us Americans.

Maybe they should produce them here to begin with..

Lol, start platforming and stop publishing then we'll talk.

Oh you mean Tim Cook ? Didn’t he get like a 80 million dollar bonus last year ? Oh and they charge 1000.00 for a phone. Hit them hard with tariffs !

Why not make it here and avoid the tariff?

Funny all you knocking Apple while tweeting on your Apple phones LMAO

Well than build here

If only Apple had a platform called Apple News where they could regulate the spread of Fox News’ misleading information about Trump’s tariffs.
