Doha, May 15 -- Taking a tough stand on trade issues, US President Donald Trump has asked Apple CEO Tim Cook not to manufacture I-Phones in India.
"Tim you're my friend, I have treated you very good, I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India. You can build in India if you want to take care of India. We are not interested in you building in India. India can take care of themselves," Trump said after a meeting with US-Qatar business leaders.
The statement comes days after India rebuffed the US President's offer of mediation on Kashmir between India and Pakistan in the midst of Operation Sindoor. Significantly the advice to Tim Cook also comes after US and China agreed on reduction of tariffs.
