Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Donald Trump will tour the factory in Texas where Apple makes the Mac Pro, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The trip, which has not yet been announced, would highlight Cook's strong relationship with Trump as he seeks further relief for Apple from US tariffs on imports from China. The tariffs are part of a prolonged, tit-for-tat trade war between the world's largest economies. Earlier this month, Apple also asked the Trump administration to waive tariffs on Chinese-made Apple Watches, iPhone components and other consumer products, according to filings with trade regulators.
Tariff relief for Apple came after the Trump and Cook dined together in August, and Trump said Cook "made a good case" that tariffs could hurt the company against South Korean rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, whose products would not be subject to the same levies.
