Cook Trump's White House Talks with China-US Trade Officials

Beijing morning news on April 26, as the White House tried to avoid a trade war with China, US President Trump and two senior aides communicated with Apple CEO Tim Cook Wednesday on trade issues.

In the recent Sino-U.S. trade dispute, Cook has been calling for calm on both sides, and has also privately visited the Oval Office to talk with Trump. He also communicated with Trump Senior Economic Advisor Larry Kudlow and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.

Trump plans to send representatives to China to negotiate to stop the trade war. If the two sides really have a trade war, it may damage Apple, the world's largest technology company, and other hardware manufacturers that manufacture products in China.

Trump had threatened to release a new round of 100 billion U.S. dollars in tariff lists, possibly targeting mobile phones, computers and other consumer electronics products. China had previously retaliated against the initial $50 billion list.

The White House stated that the meeting with Cook had been prepared for two weeks. Before the official meeting, Cook had just participated in Trump’s first state dinner hosted by French President Mark Long and sat down at the table.

White House officials said the meeting was "good" but neither party disclosed details.

Trump said earlier on Wednesday that he hopes to meet Cook. “We talked about many things, including the unfair treatment that many countries in the United States have suffered on trade issues for many years,” he said on Twitter.

Cook has a close relationship with former US President Barack Obama and has traveled to China at least three times since last October.

Cook became one of the CEOs Trump most liked to mention in public speaking. This is surprising because the relationship between them is not harmonious. During the election, Trump once called for supporters to boycott Apple and criticized the company for producing products in China.

As president, Trump called Cook a “good guy” and mentioned at least Cook in public speeches, including the Davos World Economic Forum in January this year and several important interviews.

Trump often uses Cook and Apple's examples to illustrate that his tax cuts can create jobs because it can encourage companies to repatriate profits overseas.

Trump has repeatedly stated that unless Apple builds a factory in the United States, he will not consider his presidential term as successful.

Apple has a market value of 835 billion U.S. dollars and employs 123,000 people, 84,000 of which are located in the United States. The company said in January this year that it plans to invest US$30 billion in capital expenditures in the United States in the next five years, of which US$10 billion will be used to build data centers.

Apple said that this expenditure will create 20,000 new jobs and recruit employees for the existing campuses of Cupertino and Austin.

Cook also established relations with Trump's daughter and son-in-law. Both of them are senior advisors to the White House, responsible for technical training and government IT modernization.

Although he praised Cooke, Trump, who is a Republican, often broke out with the US technology industry because both Silicon Valley and Seattle, where technology companies were concentrated, were both Democratic fortresses. He also differs from the technology industry in trade, immigration and environmental issues.

The United States originally had a law that prevented young immigrants from entering the United States illegally through childhood, but Trump decided to terminate the law, which was also publicly criticized by Cook.
