According to the British Financial Times, Trump Mobile, a mobile phone company launched by the Trump Group, has postponed the gold smartphones scheduled for delivery at the end of this year. The company initially promised to launch a $499 smartphone made in the United States this year to compete with mainstream equipment such as Apple and Samsung, but has since been targeted downwards. Trump Mobile's client team stated that the previous suspension by the United States Government had delayed the delivery of mobile phones. The team added that there was a "high probability" that the equipment could not be shipped this month. The “T1” equipment announced in June this year, as well as the $47.45-a-month package, is one of the many initiatives launched by the Tromp family business using his opportunity to return to the White House.
