It's suddenly become a negotiation again.
- hedora 2y agoYou need two sides for a negotiation. Based on the tariff carve-outs and the political appointments Trump's made, Apple leadership is definitely inside Trump's inner circle. They've been smart enough not to parade Tim Cook around in a MAGA hat, but just barely: https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/apple-ceo-tim-cook-seen-behind-us-president-donald-trump-news-photo/2194374835 https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/apple-ceo-tim-... I expect there to be some performative lawyering by the Trump administration until the case blows over.
