The Trump family's new T1 smartphone, marketed as 'Made in America,' is almost certainly assembled overseas, likely in China, with components sourced globally. Experts highlight the difficulty and near impossibility of manufacturing an entirely American-made smartphone due to complex global supply chains and strict FTC labeling regulations. Claims of a fully American-made device are misleading, and similar issues have arisen with other tech giants like Apple.
