After the victory of Donald Trump the presidential elections in the United States, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, also wanted to join the chorus of congratulations coming from the main leaders of the technology sector. In a message on social media, Cook expressed his willingness to collaborate with the new administration to promote innovation and creativity in the USA.
Congratulations, President Trump, on your victory! We look forward to working with you and your Administration to ensure that the United States continues to lead and be fueled by ingenuity, innovation, and creativity.
Cook wasn’t the only one to publicly congratulate Trump. Among the prominent names who have expressed support for the new president are Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Sundar Pichai of Google, Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Elon Musk. This show of support from Silicon Valley comes at a crucial time for the technology sector, which is facing challenges on a global scale, from international regulations to relations with the European Union.
It is not the first time that Cook has shown an open attitude to dialogue with Trump. Even in the past, the Apple CEO has chosen to deal directly with the political leadership, underlining several times how important he considers it to be “part of the conversation” rather than “stay and watch”. Already in 2016, Cook declared: “You don’t change anything just by shouting, you change by showing everyone why your approach is the best.”
Recently, Trump revealed that Cook had contacted him to discuss the difficulties Apple is facing with the European Union, due to billions in fines imposed for alleged anti-competitive practices. Trump said he responded: “I have to win the elections first, but I will not let them take advantage of our companies.”
With Trump’s return to the White House, Silicon Valley and the American tech sector could see interesting developments, especially in relations between the government and major technology companies.
