In a significant move to ease trade tensions, President Donald Trump has declared a 90-day halt on U.S.-China tariffs, slashing U.S. tariffs from 145% to 30% and China's from 125% to 10%. This agreement not only aims to stabilize markets but also paves the way for Apple’s ambitious $500 billion investment in U.S. operations, while ongoing talks will tackle critical issues like the fentanyl trade.

Apple is set to increase prices for its iPhone 17 models as U.S.-China trade talks unfold. This strategic move aims to separate the price hikes from recent tariff cuts, with U.S. tariffs now at 30% and China's at 10%. CEO Tim Cook is also considering a significant investment in the U.S., potentially surpassing $500 billion, while relocating some production to India.
