蘋果公司首席執(zhí)行官蒂姆·庫(kù)克于上周三同美國(guó)總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普在白宮會(huì)談，希望能阻止日漸逼近的中美貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)。

據(jù)白宮官方公布的總統(tǒng)日程，上周三下午，庫(kù)克和特朗普在白宮辦公廳會(huì)面，此次會(huì)談不對(duì)媒體開放。

特朗普政府決定向總值高達(dá)1500億美元的中國(guó)進(jìn)口商品征收關(guān)稅，造成中美貿(mào)易關(guān)系緊張，也可能影響蘋果在亞洲的業(yè)務(wù)。而且，蘋果龐大的制造生產(chǎn)鏈也主要位于中國(guó)。

今年3月，庫(kù)克在北京出席一場(chǎng)會(huì)議時(shí)告訴與會(huì)者，希望中美兩國(guó)可以化解貿(mào)易方面的分歧。

“積極開放的國(guó)家表現(xiàn)卓越，拒絕開放的國(guó)家則不然。關(guān)鍵不在于兩邊算清楚賬。我支持各方采取冷靜的態(tài)度。”庫(kù)克當(dāng)時(shí)這樣表示。

中美貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)一旦深入，蘋果可能成為中國(guó)打擊的目標(biāo)。今年3月，《人民日?qǐng)?bào)》稱，打響貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)后，iPhone制造商蘋果等美國(guó)公司“受損最多”。

由于已過(guò)工作時(shí)間，蘋果方面并未立即回應(yīng)置評(píng)的請(qǐng)求。

上周二晚，特朗普上任以來(lái)首次舉行國(guó)宴，款待到訪法國(guó)總統(tǒng)?，敿~埃爾·馬克龍，庫(kù)克是嘉賓之一，主管環(huán)保和政府事務(wù)的蘋果副總裁麗莎·杰克遜也出席。杰克遜曾在美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)奧巴馬執(zhí)政時(shí)任環(huán)保局局長(zhǎng)。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook will meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday as the company looks to head off a brewing trade war between the U.S. and China.

The sit-down between Cook and Trump will take place in the Oval Office on Wednesday afternoon and be closed to the press, according to the president’s official schedule released by the White House.

The Trump administration’s decision to pursue tariffs on as much as $150 billion in Chinese goods has stoked trade tensions with Beijing that could affect Apple’s business in Asia. The company’s sprawling production chain is also centered in China.

Last month, Cook told attendees at a conference in Beijing that he hoped that China and the U.S. could resolve their differences on trade.

“The countries that embrace openness do exceptional and the countries that don’t, don’t,” he said. “It’s not a matter of carving things up between sides. I’m going to encourage that calm heads prevail.”

A trade war could place Apple in the Chinese government’s cross-hairs. A Communist Party newspaper last month listed the iPhone maker among the American companies that would be “most damaged” if a trade war erupted.

Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment after regular business hours.

Cook was among the guests on Tuesday evening at the first state dinner of Trump’s presidency, a formal fete for French President Emmanuel Macron. The Apple chief was accompanied by Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment and government affairs and the head of the Environmental Protection Agency under President Barack Obama.
