Apple CEO Tim Cook said the Trump administration directly intervened to help the iPhone maker break into India
that it would begin online sales in India this year, and aim to open its first store in the country next year. Previously Apple had only been able to sell its products in India through third-party sellers, both online and in physical stores. In 2018, AppleTim Cook told Fox Business that local laws forcing it to partner with a local retailer is what prevented it entering the market for so long.
"I see India as a huge opportunity for us, for years we could not enter there unless we entered there with a partner [...] and we did not want to do that, we wanted to maintain control of our brand and so forth," he said. Apple will no longer have to find a partner as, according to Cook, the Trump administration lobbied on Apple's behalf.
"The administration worked on this with the Indian government and that change has been made," he said.
