Apple should ask. “I don’t want you to build in India,” US President Donald Trump said last week, referring to what he told Apple Inc’s head, Tim Cook, “India can take care of themselves, it goes very well. We want you to build here. ‘ That Trump wants the iPhone meeting to be done in the US has set up many of us, given the anticipation in India of an influx of this job-creating activity from an obstacle aimed at China. But it may not raise eyebrows. This is part of Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda.
