President Donald Trump Comments on “Little Problem” with Apple CEO

President Donald J. Trump sparked headlines today after publicly stating he has a “little problem” with Apple CEO Tim Cook, reigniting past tensions between the tech giant and the Trump political camp.

During an appearance at a policy roundtable in Florida, Trump made offhand remarks referencing past disagreements with Apple over issues ranging from data privacy to offshore manufacturing. “Tim’s a smart guy, but we’ve got a little problem,” Trump said. “We need companies like Apple to put America first — not China, not anyone else.”

The comment drew both scrutiny and speculation, with analysts noting the former president’s history of pressuring American tech firms to bring jobs and manufacturing back to the United States. While the nature of the “little problem” was not elaborated upon, sources close to the Trump campaign hinted at a brewing policy critique related to Apple’s recent business decisions.

Apple has not yet issued an official response.
