Donald Trump hosts Apple CEO Tim Cook at Mar-a-Lago as big tech leaders continue outreach to president-elect
Cook is the latest in a string of big tech leaders — including OpenAI's Sam Altman, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon's Jeff Bezos — who have sought to improve their standing with the incoming president after choppy relations with Trump during his first term.
Trump has said he has spoken with Cook about the company's long-running tax battles with the European Union.
The meeting comes less than two months after Trump said he spoke to Cook by phone, and soon after Apple lost its last appeal in a dispute with the EU over 13 billion euros ($14.34 billion) in back taxes to Ireland.
«He said the European Union has just fined us $15 billion,» Trump recalled of his conversation with Cook, in an October interview with podcaster Patrick Bet-David. «Then on top of that they got fined by the European Union another $2 billion.»
