Expert questions are demanding the golden phone in the United States

Experts have suspected Trump’s claim that its proposed smartphone can be fully manufactured in the United States.

One of the BBC industry analysts told that it would be “actually impossible” to a golden phone – which will be sold for $ 499 (367.50 pounds) – to be built in the United States.

Questions were also raised about the ethics of what is the latest in a series of attempts to benefit from the name of President Donald Trump.

“It is unreasonable that the Trump family has created another way for President Trump to profit personally while he was taking office,” said Meghan Volkner, Director of Communications for Citizens for Liability and Ethics in Washington.

The phone will also come alongside the mobile phone service with a monthly fee of $ 47.45.

The number is a reference to Trump, who works as 47 and 45 heads in the country.

Trump said he put his commercial interests in confidence managed by his children. The White House confirmed that it behaves in the interests of all Americans.

But Mrs. Volkner said that the latest project raised familiar issues, including whether the new company will win a suitability of people who hope to influence Trump and how the president will make policies and organization for an industry where his family is now a stake.

The Trump family did not mention which company will manufacture its phone in the United States.

“In the end, all phones can be built in the United States of America,” Eric Trump said in “The Benny Show” on Monday.

Technology experts questioned what Trump’s demand “built in the United States” about its phones, and they argued that it is not currently possible to manufacture smartphones from the zero point in the United States.

“They do not even a preliminary operational model. It is very unlikely,” said Professor Tingong Day, who is studying Operations Department at the Kares Jones Kares College.

“You have to have a miracle. You will need to have a savings.

The decision comes at a time when Trump is trying to pressure the CEO of Apple Tim Cook to manufacture iPhone devices sold to American buyers in the United States.

Last month, President threatening To put an import tax at least 25 % on iPhone devices that have not been manufactured in America.

Analyst Liu Gibbi from CCS Insight indicated that the United States “simply does not have a high -tech supply chain” required to collect smartphones, especially at the appropriate time to issue it in August, said Trump.

“However, the device is likely to be assembled in the United States with parts imported from abroad. This may be the most likely result that allows T1 to claim American sovereignty,” said Mr. Gibbi.

The advertisement was light on the details, including the name of the business partner who will manage the service and license the name.

Trump did not immediately respond to BBC questions about its commercial partner, criticism about potential ethics issues and asked for details about the claim “built in the United States.”

By announcing its plans, he said, “Americans who work hard deserve a reasonable wireless service, reflect their values, and provide reliable quality they can rely.”

The “reduced” policy has put international calls to families that serve members outside the United States in the army.

The advertisement said that the mobile phone service will have employees to support customers in the United States to answer questions, as well as a golden color, which is currently available for pre -order.

The deal is an extension of the work strategy that Trump has long embraced before his presidency, and hit deals to sell his name to hotel owners and golf players in exchange for fees and royalties.

But the chances of profit from his trademark have expanded since he entered politics a decade ago.

In his most recent financial disclosure, Trump told more than $ 600 million in the past year, including millions of elements such as the Trump brand, sports shoes and perfume watches.

In March, Forbes estimated that his net wealth was $ 5.1 billion, more than twice that it was a year ago.

She said that the boom was partially due to the “DieHard” of the president, which is attributed to help in supporting the value of the social media company in Trump, which runs the social truth platform, which represents almost half of his wealth last year.

The idea of ​​a TROMP smartphone has received a mixed online reaction with some people ready to buy it and others make fun of this concept.

“Where should I wait in a queue to buy the new Trump phone?” X -user books.

Others mocked the design, mocked the habits of the phone that was named after his name, and asked me whether the texts on the new phone would be all in capital messages.

The US mobile market in the United States is currently dominated by three main players: AT & T, Verizon and T-Mobile, all of which provide a phone service starting at $ 40 a month.

There are also an increasing number of smaller companies that drive to use these networks to target specialized groups of potential customers, by offering lower prices or customized plans.

The largest of those companies, known as mobile virtual network providers, have less than 10 million subscribers, according to a report issued by the Federal Communications Committee for 2024.

Mint Mobile, supported by Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds, was sold to T-Mobile for $ 1.35 billion in 2023. At that time, one analyst estimated that the service had approximately 2 to three million subscribers.

The actor had a 25 % stake at work, giving him a potential payment of about $ 300 million.
