The candidate for the presidency of the USA, Donald Trump, has recently given a rally at Virginia Liberty University during which he spoke of his already usual wide range of political issues such as the perennial immigration and his more than conservative opinions. This time, however, Trump also spoke of Apple in his speech when referring to how to bring jobs back to the United States when it comes to manufactured goods, driving companies away from countries like China.
In the words of the millionaire and candidate, "we have to make them build their damn equipment and other accessories within this country" and although a priori it is not a bad idea for create jobs and to reactivate the sector within the country, did not offer the details of how it was going to convince or force Apple and other companies to bring their facilities into the United States, although surely it is through a proposed law or a more attractive tax reform for these types of companies.
He continued his speech talking about all those amazing people who work in the country:
"They are smart, strong, energetic, in short, they are incredible," said Trump. “I was wondering what will make America great again, and I really think we can say, and I really do, that we're going to get it right… we're going to bring Apple here to start building their damn equipment and accessories in this country, instead of in other countries «.
As I have mentioned before, there is no current legal reason to bring the manufacture of all devices within the United States if Trump is ultimately elected president, although there will most likely be tax incentives and exemptions. However the CEO of the company, Tim Cook, already spoke in the program «60 Minutes» on the reason why they manufactured their products in China and referred to the Chinese worker skills and the emphasis of the companies that are there, to form and make everything go well. Unlike in the US, where the necessary skills have been neglected within this professional environment, far behind China.
