「Trump Card Phone」 Launch Delayed Due to U.S. Government Shutdown Causing Delivery Postponement

BlockBeats News, December 31: According to the Financial Times, Trump Mobile, the mobile company launched by the Trump Group, has delayed its plan to ship a gold smartphone originally scheduled for the end of this year. The company initially promised to launch a $499 US-made smartphone this year to compete with mainstream devices like Apple and Samsung, but has since revised its target.

Trump Mobile's customer service team said that the previous U.S. government shutdown had led to a delay in phone delivery. The team added that it is "highly likely" that this device will not be shipped this month. The "T1" device announced in June this year, along with a $47.45 monthly talk and text plan, is one of several initiatives launched by the Trump family business leveraging his return to the White House.
