Apple Inc. fell the most in six months as controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s administration prompted investor concern about the likelihood of tax reforms being passed.

Apple has $240 billion in cash and equivalents outside the U.S., about 93 percent of its total reserves, and Trump has proposed a tax cut to repatriate offshore holdings. The stock fell as much as 3.5 percent, the most since November, to $150, while the S&P 500 fell as much as 1.4 percent.
