Trump Announces Tariff on Foreign-Made Smartphones
Donald Trump wants phone companies like Apple and Samsung to make phones in the United States.
If they make phones outside the US and sell them here, he plans to make them pay an extra tax called a tariff.
Trump believes this will create more jobs in America.
However, it could make phones cost more because it costs more to make them in the US.
Trump announced a 25% tariff on smartphones manufactured outside the US.
The tariff targets companies like Apple and Samsung.
The tariffs are set to take effect by the end of June.
Trump wants these companies to manufacture phones in the US.
