'Let Him Cook': Here's How Apple CEO Mollified Trump
Last Updated: The tech giant has committed $600 billion in US investments, including an additional $100 billion, a major win for Trump's 'Make America Great Again' agenda Apple's CEO Tim Cook has extended an olive branch to US President Donald Trump with a gift: a piece of Kentucky-made Corning glass mounted on 24-karat Utah gold. In Trumpian America, relationships are indeed worth their weight in gold. Cook's visit to the Oval Office was not merely about presenting a trinket to the President; he was there to secure a deal that would save Apple billions of dollars and, more importantly, from the threat of Trump's 100% tariffs on semiconductors. The gift appeared to work. Within hours of Cook's arrival, Trump announced that companies building in the United States would be exempt from chip tariffs. However, this favourable outcome for Apple came at a significant cost. The tech giant has committed $600 billion in US investments, including an additional $100 billion. Apple's investment will span facilities in Arizona, California, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, and North Carolina, promising 450,000 supplier jobs and 20,000 new hires of American workers focusing on R&D, chip design, and AI development. This development was a major win for Trump's 'Make America Great Again" agenda. Trump was quick to boast about the achievement, taking a direct jab at India: 'Apple will invest a record $600 billion in the US, the largest investment Apple has ever made in America. As you all know, Apple has been an investor in other countries, I wouldn't say which ones, but a couple, and they are now coming home." Ever since Trump's first tenure, Tim Cook has been one of the few tech CEOs maintaining a hands-on approach with him. Cook's latest investment acts as a billion-dollar insurance policy with Trump, reflected in the numbers. Apple reported $800 million in tariff expenses last quarter, with projections rising to $1.1 billion for the September quarter. Thanks to Cook's diplomacy, he has saved Apple a considerable fortune. Notably, Cook has skillfully navigated Trump's primary demand that Apple move all manufacturing to US shores. Trump stated, 'The whole thing is set up in other places. Hopefully, we will incentivise them to move completely to the US in future." For Tim Cook, previously criticised by Trump for making in India, this has been a delicate balancing act, starting with diversifying away from China. The stakes are now higher because Apple sources a majority of its US-bound iPhones from India, which faces a 50% tariff. So, will Apple's India operations be impacted? As far as iPhone assembly is concerned, demand for both the US and India in the ongoing quarter can be met with capacity from India. Apple's US manufacturing commitments are primarily for chips and other components not made in India. Shifting assembly infrastructure to a high labour cost country like the US is impractical. Apple currently meets demand through the Foxconn assembly unit in Sriperumbudur, the Pegatron facility in Chengalpattu, the component manufacturing unit in Krishnagiri, and the new Foxconn facility in Tumkur. Two of these units, in Tumkur and Krishnagiri, have completed construction, with production starting soon. Further manufacturing commitments by Apple will depend on more clarity about the bilateral trade agreement being negotiated between India and the US. In Trump's unpredictable world, there are no permanent friends or foes. It's uncertain how long Cook's diplomacy will shield Apple from Trump's tariffs. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Apple in, Intel out: Trump remakes the US tech industry to MAGA specs
Apple's Tim Cook with Donald Trump (File photo) The TOI correspondent from Washington: In an ominous sign for foreign-born CEOs of globalized American tech companies, MAGA supremo Donald Trump on Thursday asked the Malaysia-born CEO of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, to "resign immediately," reportedly for his ties to China, hours after declaring " Apple is coming back home (to the US)." "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!" Trump posted on social media platform without elaborating on the problem. This came after he had brought the tech giant Apple to heel at a White House event on Wednesday, demanding it make all its products start to finish in the US rather than in foreign countries. While he did not mention China or India, which now assembles almost all the newer model iPhones for the US market, Apple CEO Tim Cook politely demurred, saying the company is already making much of its cutting edge technology in America and phones were only being assembled abroad, while suggesting it will take time to pivot the entire manufacturing process to the U.S. A fawning Cook also presented to Trump a unique glass made by Corning mounted in a 24-karat gold base designed by a former U.S. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bananal: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Marine Corps corporal who now works at Apple, a gift that visibly pleased the President who has festooned the Oval Office with gold-plated objects and themes. Trump's unprecedented demand -- or directive -- that the Intel CEO resign follows questions raised by Republican Senator Tom Cotton about Bu Tan's ties with the Chinese military even as the company received $8 billion under the Biden-era Chips Act. In a letter sent to Intel's board and its Chairman Frank Leary, Cotton wrote that he is concerned 'about the security and integrity of Intel's operations and its potential impact on US national security,' given Tan's past role at Cadence Design, which recently faced a criminal case for exporting chip design tools to a Chinese military university during Tan's tenure as CEO. He sought to know if the board was aware of subpoenas targeting Cadence Design – which also has operations in India and which Tan ran from 2008 to 2021 before he joined Intel, which also has a large presence in India. Tan, 66, a Malaysian born in Johor, grew up in Singapore before he come to the US to earn Master of Science in nuclear engineering from MIT and an MBA from the University of San Francisco. He is now an American citizen. Trump demanded his resignation even before Tan had replied to Cotton, who had sought responses by August 15. While Trump has openly demanded that companies like Apple and Tesla refrain from investing and manufacturing in India and other foreign countries, he has been more accommodating of Microsoft, Google, and IBM -- all of which have India-born CEOs who have made a bee-line to the White House in recent months. India is not just a talent pools these companies feed off but it is also a huge market. But some of Trump's more nativist America First hardliners have begun ratcheting up suspicion about foreign-born executives, questioning their commitment to the US and arguing there is enough talent in America to meet the needs of the tech industry without foreign students or workers. Asked at the White House event whether the US had enough skilled tech workers to meet the industry's needs, Trump suggested Apple itself could be training the work force it needs in America.
