Trump threatened Apple with 25% tariffs unless the company starts making their iPhones in the United States. His threat came after Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company would continue manufacturing phones in India to avoid expensive prices for Americans.

Apple increased its exports of iPhones from India to the United States in April, with industry data showing a 76 percent increase compared to previous months. The jump came amid President Donald Trump's threats of a 25 percent tariff on iPhones made outside the U.

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said the Trump administration does not want to "harm Apple" with tariffs. President Donald Trump said in a social media post that Apple will have to pay a tariff of 25% or more for iPhones made outside the U.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to withhold federal funding from the state of California over a transgender athlete’s participation in an upcoming sporting event – the latest example of the president trying to use funding as leverage to enact his agenda.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to withhold federal funding if California did not stop a transgender girl in high school from competing in state track and field finals, and said he would discuss it with Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of “playing with fire,” as Moscow continues battering Ukraine in the face of Trump’s attempts to broker a peace deal to end the war.

By Steve Holland, Tom Balmforth and Yuliia Dysa WASHINGTON/KYIV (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Vladimir Putin was "playing with fire" by refusing to engage in ceasefire talks with Kyiv as Russian forces made gains in Ukraine's northeast.

President Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russia launched its biggest air attack of the war on Ukraine over the weekend. Mr. Trump said he's considering sanctions against Russia.

Trump’s threats “are rooted in frustration with the EU that has little to do with trade,’’ Stokes said. “He doesn’t like the EU. He doesn’t like Germany." What exactly does Trump want? What can Europe offer?

President Donald Trump pulled back from threatening a larger trade war with Europe, again. On May 23, Trump said he would impose a 50% tariff on the EU starting on June 1. He later told reporters he felt no need to cut a deal.

The European Union's chief trade negotiator said Monday he had “good calls” with Trump administration officials and the EU was “fully committed” to reaching a trade deal by a July 9 deadline, after Trump agreed to delay his threatened 50% tariff — or import tax — on European goods.
