President Donald Trump said Friday he would not give Apple a waiver for Mac Pro computer parts made in China.
“Apple will not be given Tariff waivers, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China,” he wrote on Twitter. “Make them in the USA, no Tariffs!”
Apple had requested the Office of U.S. Trade Representative to exempt their company from a proposed 25 percent tariff on computer parts from China.
Trump’s announcement on Twitter sent Apple stocks downward on Friday morning.
