Apple has been ramping up production in India with the aim of making around 25% of global iPhones in the country in the next few years.

Speaking during a business summit in Doha, Trump said he met with Cook and asked him to stop building in India and instead increase production in the US.

Apple is building most of its devices in China. The company has been doing so for decades due to cheaper labor costs, supply chain infrastructure, and manufacturing expertise that's unmatched in any other country in the world.
