The Trump Organization has removed a claim that its newly announced T1 smartphone would be made in the United States. The phone’s webpage now refers instead to an “American-Proud Design” and states the device is “brought to life right here in the USA.” The original banner declaring the T1 “MADE IN THE USA” has been deleted.⁠

When the $499 T1 was introduced, experts told CNBC that manufacturing the phone in the U.S. was unlikely and that production would probably occur in China. In a statement to CNBC, Trump Mobile spokesperson Chris Walker said, “T1 phones are proudly being made in America.” He added, “Speculation to the contrary is simply inaccurate.”⁠

Alongside the branding change, key technical specifications were revised. The advertised screen size dropped from 6.8 inches to 6.25 inches, and a reference to 12GB of RAM was removed. CNBC has requested comment on the updated specs. President Donald Trump has pushed to increase U.S. tech manufacturing and has recently turned attention to smartphone production and Apple’s supply chain.⁠
