“The Trump Organization scrapped a reference that its recently revealed smartphone will be made in the U.S., amid doubts that such a device can be manufactured on American shores at its price tag. A spokesperson for the Trump Organization, which is owned by U.S. President Donald Trump, nevertheless maintained the handset would be made in the U.S. This month, the Trump Organization introduced the T1, a gold-colored device set to retail for $499. At the time of the announcement, a banner on the homepage of the company’s website said: ‘Our MADE IN THE USA ‘T1 Phone’ is available for pre-order now.’ The reference to where the phone will be produced has been completely removed. The change was first noted by The Verge.” (06/26/25)
