Samsung produces 50% of their phones in Vietnam. Samsung can ship those phones to the US and not pay any tariffs. This puts Apple in a bind.

Foxconn manufactures phones and components for Apple. While they currently assemble most of the phones in China, Foxconn could shift the assembly to Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, or South Korea.

That’s what I want! Production shipped out of China. Best yet, is some of that production to come back to the US.

Brilliant! Somehow even an Apple fanboy has been able to figured out the gist of what President Trump is trying to communicate to China. They can either play fair or suffer the consequences. President Trump is not targeting Apple; President Trump is targeting China and trying to get them to open their markets to goods made in America.
