while promoting the commercialization of his gold top of the line T1 mobile phone by Trump, he also claimed the phone would be built/bade 100% in the US, guess what, to many of us we knew it was a lie, and it's another big lie. The phone looks a lot like a HTC phone made in Taiwan & China and it appears the parts are made and imported from overseas and to cover up the lie if may be assembled in the US, again and we all know how Trump functions, I don't think it's a big surprise

iFixit did it's thing and revealed the Trump Mobile T1 is an HTC U24 Pro — with a few minor tweaks.

Htc Manufacturing Locations

HTC, a renowned player in the smartphone market, has its manufacturing operations spread across various countries. The company initially started its manufacturing in Taiwan and China but has since expanded to include locations such as India and Vietnam.

That the trump phone is not made in the US is one of the least surprising news to come out during the last decade.....

China makes everything ! and even if there was the will it would take decades for US/UK/EU to regain the lost industrial base and retrain the skilled workers required..there is also the small matter of cheap reliable energy the antipathy of 'Net zero' and the 'rare earths'

There's also the small matter of Trump promising the phone would be "made in the USA".😂
