Daniel Thomas, a business reporter at BBC News, reported that nearly 80% of smartphones sold in the US are manufactured in China. Deena Ghazarian, the owner of California-based company Austere, faced challenges when President Donald Trump’s trade policies led to increased tariffs on Chinese imports, impacting her business of supplying audio and video accessories to US retailers.
