Apple is reportedly shifting production for its new Mac Pro computer from the United States to China
The company's latest Mac Pro computer will not undergo final assembly in Austin, Texas, as its previous version did, according to a Wall Street Journal report. Apple will now partner with Quanta Computer in China — closer to Apple's other factories. The effort could help reduce costs related to shipping components to the United States for the last production step, the report said.The move comes amid growing trade tensions between the Trump administration and China.
During his presidential campaign, he said he would"get Apple to to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries."Trump later said Apple CEO Tim Cook"promised" to build"three big plants, beautiful plants" in the US."I said you know, Tim, unless you start building your plants in this country, I won't consider my administration an economic success," Trump told the Journal at the time.
