Tariffs of 104% on Chinese imports will be collected beginning at 00:01 local time (05:01 BST) tomorrow, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirms.
Leavitt is now asked about US Trade Secretary for Commerce Howard Lutnick’s comments that jobs like iPhone manufacturing could come to the US.
Leavitt says those jobs could “absolutely” come to the US as part of this on-shoring plan.
“[Trump] believes we have the labour, we have the workforce, we have the resources to do it,” she says, adding the president is looking at all jobs, and that he wants them all to come back to the US.
She then touts Apple's investments in the US, saying they would not have put in that much money if they did not believe there was potential for growth in the US.
