Company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), recently launched a series of warnings regarding the price increase of its products in almost all existing categories, which would not be good for anyone. Apple released the warning for Donald Trump, who intends to impose the new list of products made in China, and those from Cupertino would be seriously affected.
Donald Trump wants to impose new taxes of 25% on products manufactured in China, and Apple says that this would seriously affect its activity and competitiveness at the global level. Apple says that the investment of 350 billion dollars, over the course of 5 years, in the USA will be substantially reduced if it has to absorb an increase in the price of the products.
Apple has already started talking with its partners in China about possible price reductions for the components used in the manufacture of its products. If he doesn't manage to get what he wants, it is not excluded that Apple will increase the international prices of its products just to cover the losses it will record.
"Apple is a proud US company and one of the largest job creators in the United States. We are responsible for over 2 million jobs across all 50 states, including Apple's direct employers, employees at our manufacturing and retail partners, and Americans who make their living in the vibrant and growing app economy. In 2018, after the passage of tax reform in the US, we announced our intention to make a total direct contribution to the US economy of over $350 billion over 5 years and we are pleased to report that we are on track to achieve this contribution. We are opening several new seats and adding new jobs to our US employee base."
