Internet reported that Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, said on Tuesday that the Trump administration does not want to use tariffs to harm apples. Hassett said,"Now, no matter who you impose a little tariff on, everyone is trying to make it look like a disaster, trying to negotiate a reduction in tariffs." What will happen and what new developments will not be known until the end, but we don't want to hurt Apple." Hassett's comments came after Trump said Apple would have to pay tariffs of 25% or more on iPhones made outside the United States.
