Apple CEO Tim Cook presented President Donald Trump with a glass plaque featuring a 24-karat gold base during a White House event on August 6. This gesture coincided with Apple's announcement of a $100 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing over the next four years, adding to a prior $500 billion commitment. The plaque was inscribed with Trump's name and highlighted Apple's manufacturing efforts in the U.S., raising questions about ethical implications of such gifts amidst Trump's presidency. Nonetheless, the meeting resulted in Trump announcing an exemption for Apple from new tariffs on semiconductor chips.
