While speaking to the media later that day, Trump clarified that the tariff would apply to any company selling foreign-made phones in the U.S., not just Apple. The president said

President Trump expanded his tariff threat to Samsung and other smartphone producers on Friday afternoon, after announcing threatened duties on Apple hours before. Trump earlier Friday posted on Truth Social that he would impose 25% tariffs on Apple iPhones made overseas.

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.
