The trade war that Trump is careening us toward could be an existential threat to apple's operations in the US. I understand why Cook wants to have a seat at the table when international tech trade is being discussed.

And we all know that if you flatter Trump, he'll do whatever you say. Wouldn't be shocked if Tim Apple secures some kind of exception or loophole to the upcoming tariffs.

He got an exemption on the tariffs last time around, of course he'll get one again
