finance.yahoo.com - Apple collapse proves cosying trump
Despite Trump being deeply unpopular with much of Apple’s Silicon Valley workforce, Cook – a seasoned corporate diplomat – maintained a warm relationship with him, steadily navigating the White House’s choppy trade war against China.

His lobbying was crucial to Apple securing exemptions for billions of dollars in imports of Chinese-made smartwatches and other components. Trump, meanwhile, claimed to have brought Apple manufacturing back to the US when he toured a Mac computer factory in Texas (the factory had been open since 2013, but Apple did not correct the president).

But on Wednesday, Cook’s delicate manoeuvres seemed to hit a brick wall.

Trump imposed crushing tariffs not only on China, where the majority of Apple’s iPhones are made, but also on countries such as Vietnam and India, where Cook has quietly moved parts of its production in recent years in anticipation of further Chinese tensions.
