In another sign of Apple’s growing political power, Donald Trump tweeted that he had personally discussed this all with CEO Tim Cook. This followed a 90-day suspension of tariffs agreed upon by the United States and China.

Apple’s stock jumped 6% on Monday, adding roughly $180 billion to its market cap after the U.S. and China agreed to cut reciprocal tariffs from 125% to 10% for 90 days. President Trump said he spoke with CEO Tim Cook about boosting Apple’s U.

The phone calls between the President and the country's most lucrative tech company's CEO have become regular, though it isn't clear what they accomplish beyond keeping Apple on the nice list.
