Major China-listed Apple suppliers including Luxshare, Goertek fall after Trump's tariff threats

Major China-listed Apple suppliers, such as Luxshare, Goertek, and Lens Tech, experienced a sharp decline after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on imported iPhones. This development was a result of Trump's warning on Friday to intensify the trade war with China. The potential levy on iPhones purchased by U.S. consumers caused significant market uncertainty for these suppliers.

What Trump's Apple threat means for India's tariff negotiations

President Trump's tariff changes have impacted India's trade negotiations with the U.S. Despite facing a 26% tariff, India initially saw an opportunity due to higher tariffs on China and other Asian countries. However, Trump's evolving tactics, especially regarding Apple's manufacturing shift to India, have complicated matters. Trump's suggestion for Apple to produce in the U.S. adds uncertainty, yet Indian officials believe this may be a bargaining tactic rather than a definitive threat to their growing manufacturing edge.

Apple’s manufacturer Luxshare moves investment to Vietnam instead of India

Apple's major Chinese component manufacturer, Luxshare, has reportedly decided to invest in Vietnam instead of India due to ongoing political tensions between the two countries. Luxshare, a key supplier for Apple's AirPods and potentially iPhones, will shift its $330 million investment to Vietnam's Bac Giang province. This decision could result in a loss for India, which had hoped to incorporate Indian companies like the Tatas into Apple's supply chain. The move by Luxshare reflects Apple's increasing intent to diversify its manufacturing beyond China.

Trump's new tariffs test Apple's global supply chain

President Donald Trump's new tariff strategy significantly impacts Apple's global supply chain. Initially, to counter 2018 tariffs on China, Apple shifted production to Vietnam and India.

Already contending with 20% tariffs on Chinese imports, Apple's costs could rise significantly, affecting profits. The company's diversification efforts—redirecting production to India and Vietnam—now confront new challenges.

Chairwoman Wang Laichun stated the tariffs' impact on profits is minimal, but more overseas investments are considered. They may fulfill U.S. market needs through localized products, contingent on commercial guarantees. Luxshare, with facilities across several countries, speculates greater Southeast Asian investments, but not India yet.

Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue.
