US Apple “Mac Pro” new product domestic production September 24 11:32
Major US IT company Apple has announced that it will produce a new product in the United States, Mac Pro, the top model for personal computers. It was reported that production had already begun in China, but it seems that there is an aim to relieve the adversity with the Trump administration by showing an attitude of emphasizing domestic employment.
In June, the US media reported that Apple is producing a new product of the top computer model Mac Pro in Shanghai, China, to reduce costs. It was attracting attention.
Apple issued a statement on the 23rd that the new product will be produced at a factory in Austin, South Texas, just like the previous Mac Pro. This is possible because the US government has excluded MacPro parts from additional tariffs on imported goods from China.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook commented, "I am grateful to the US government for giving me this opportunity."
Some of the Apple products produced in China are subject to additional tariffs on China by the Trump administration this month.
As a company, it seems that there is an aim to relieve the affairs with the Trump administration by showing an emphasis on employment in the United States, and to draw further concessions.
