Myke Hurley: 特朗普总统威胁要对苹果公司征收25%的关税,除非他们将iPhone的生产线搬回美国。这似乎是对苹果公司CEO Tim Cook的一种报复,因为他没有参加总统的中东之行。如果这个关税真的实施,iPhone的价格将会上涨。苹果公司似乎陷入了一个困境,他们需要找到一种方法来应对特朗普政府的压力。 Jason Snell: 在美国生产iPhone是不现实的,因为成本太高,甚至超过了25%的关税。Tim Cook需要向特朗普总统解释清楚这一点,并提出一些替代方案,比如增加在美国的投资,或者采取一些象征性的措施来满足总统的要求。关键是要让特朗普政府退让,或者找到一种方法来让他觉得他赢了。现在的情况是,有人在向特朗普总统传递与Tim Cook不同的信息,这使得情况更加复杂。
