Tech giants warn on US-China escalation

Apple has joined Dell, Microsoft, HP and Intel in opposing US President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on laptop computers and tablets among the $300bn (€268bn) in Chinese goods targeted for a 25% tariff increase on July 2 when the consultation period for public comment ends.
The companies say the tariff escalation will harm US technology businesses, hindering their ability to innovate and compete in a global market place.
