Apple will produce new Mac Pro computers in US
Apple said Monday it would keep making its Mac Pro in the United States, after obtaining tariff exemptions for some components in the high-end computers.
The California tech giant said it would keep production of the Mac Pro -- a computer costing some $6,000 -- in Austin, Texas, following reports it was considering moving the manufacturing the China.
Apple said the decision came after the company obtained "a federal product exclusion" from tariffs "for certain necessary components" for the computers.
The news comes despite comments from President Donald Trump in July that he would oppose waiving tariffs on components for Apple's devices, commenting in a tweet, "Make them in the USA, no Tariffs."
