Bessent emphasized that one of the United States’ most significant vulnerabilities lies in the reliance on external semiconductor production. Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if the company continues to manufacture iPhones outside the United States. In early May, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the majority of the iPhones bound for the US market will be produced in India.
