In addition to the announcements to expand US investments to $600 billion, Apple CEO Tim Cook provided a piece of Gorilla Glass and a golden stand to President Donald Trump to commemorate the news.
Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Donald Trump
Apple has been playing the appeasement game with the current US administration as a part of CEO Tim Cook’s playbook for dealing with Donald Trump. So far, it’s worked, as donations, in-person dinners, events, and an even bigger investment may lead to tariff exemptions.
The appearance went as you’d expect, with Cook standing off to the side off camera while President Trump listed what he believes are new accomplishments, despite already having been announced. First, Cook showed off a commemorative plaque, then after Trump rambled about things like the price of eggs for about ten minutes, Cook was invited to provide remarks.
