WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump called on Apple Friday to make its iPhones in the United States, saying that China is "the biggest beneficiary" of the California tech giant.
Trump´s comments marked his latest effort to press US firms to bring back manufacturing amid a simmering trade war between Washington and Beijing.
