Since last year, there have been economic tensions between China and the US government. The President of the United States is reportedly considering an extension of taxes on products imported from China and sold in his country.
However, until now, Apple's products have been relatively spared from the disputes between the Trump administration and the Chinese government. And this would come in partdes efforts de lobbying de Tim Cookfrom U.S. and Chinese government officials.
We learn via a new report from the newspaper Politico, which catalogs Apple's history with the Trump administration, that Tim Cook, the CEO of Appleskillfully handled the situation with the American presidentand its various representatives.
Also mentioned is the way in which Tim Cook managed Apple's relations with the Chinese government. He would have done everything to avoid reprisals following American trade policy.
Tim Cook metseveral times individually Trump. He also spoke on other occasions with the president's close advisers. This is a notable move on the part of Apple's CEO, while most other bosses of large tech companies prefer to send a representative.
By treating Trump and the representatives like his tech industry counterparts, Tim Cook succeededto make connectionswith senior members of the US government.
The Politico report suggests that Apple hasbenefited directly from the actions of Tim Cook, particularly last September, when Trump imposed a tax on previously spared products, connected watches and Bluetooth devices were removed at the last moment from the list of affected products.
