The benefits also highlight that the users will be able to call internationally to 100 destinations, have no contract and will be eligible to cancel anytime.

“Trump Mobile is also excited to announce it will release the “T1 Phone” in August. It is a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier,” said the company in the official release.

According to the agency report, more than 60 million smartphones are purchased annually in the United States. However, all of these devices are manufactured in India. China, South Korea, India and Vietnam are the major smartphone manufacturing hubs of the world.

The agency cited that due to the higher labour costs, supply chain complexity, and dependence on overseas component sourcing, the domestic manufacturing of smartphones has always been a challenge in the US.
