President Donald Trump said that the tariffs he threatened against Apple Inc. earlier Friday would also be aimed at a wider range of device makers including Samsung Electronics Co. to spur them into moving manufacturing of their products to the US.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Friday to roll out 25 percent tariffs by the end of next month on smartphones made by Apple, Samsung Electronics Co. and other companies if they are not manufactured in the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday that a 25% tariff he says he will impose on Apple will also apply to Samsung and other smartphone makers. Trump, talking to reporters in the Oval Office, also said he was fine with leaving a 50% tariff in place on the European Union absent a trade deal.
