From article:

    Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urges iPhone maker to find other
    solutions to AI-driven chip supply crunch

Reality translation:

    Commerce Secretary urges iPhone maker to keep US RAM supplies depleted
    so that US RAM prices will remain at historical/ever-increasing highs.
