Odaily Planet Daily reports that Trump Mobile, the mobile phone company launched by the Trump Group, has postponed its originally scheduled delivery of the gold-colored smartphone set for the end of this year. The company initially promised to launch a US-made smartphone priced at $499 this year to compete with mainstream devices like Apple and Samsung, but has since revised its target. Trump Mobile’s customer service team stated that the delay was caused by the US government shutdown. The team added that the device “most likely” will not be shipped this month. The “T1” device announced in June and the $47.45 monthly phone plan are among the initiatives launched by the Trump family business to leverage his return to the White House. (Jin10)
