Trump meets with Tim Cook AMD

Apple CEO Tim Cook met with President Trump in the Oval Office on Wednesday amid a brewing trade war between the U.S. and China.

White House officials said that Cook also had met with Larry Kudlow, the president’s top economic adviser, and had a meeting at the offices of U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the “primary focus and purpose of the meeting is to discuss trade,” adding that the meeting had been planned for weeks.

The White House didn’t immediately provide additional information on what Trump and Cook had discussed.
