The Trump Mobile T1 smartphone, a $499 (roughly £370) gold-plated device marketed as a patriotic alternative to mainstream handsets, is facing growing scrutiny after claims circulated online that it may rely on Chinese manufacturing and overseas supply chains.
The allegations have fuelled concern among some supporters of Donald Trump, with fears emerging that the device could potentially carry surveillance risks or function as a so-called spy device, though no evidence of espionage has been confirmed.
