Where on earth did you get that idea? We manufacture a lot. Ever fly in an airplane? What happened was Trump pushed it and was satisfied with the photo op. Trump got the idea that Apple needed to manufacture iPhones in the US. Because it was US policy to offshore manufacturing during the 1980s, there are some things we just don't make and don't have the infrastructure to make. Anything more complicated than a fork has a significant supply chain attached to it and the US has almost none of what is required for a cellphone, particularly displays. Which the Foxconn project would have been capable of. However, displays are more complicated than forks and also have a supply chain. Which, if Trump was serious about onshoring, he would have tried to make the needed deals. But he wasn't serious, he was more interested in the performance art aspects.
