Apple CEO Tim Cook will donate a million dollars to the inauguration of new US President Donald Trump. However, no donations are expected from the company, reports Axios.
Sources said the decision underscores the longstanding relationship between Trump and Cook, which included numerous meetings during the president's first term and a dinner at Mar-a-Lago last month.
The donation is part of a broader trend of other CEOs and companies also making large contributions in support of the inauguration, hoping to build bridges with the new administration.
Cook said he was contributing to the spirit of unity, emphasizing the importance of this American tradition.
Cook is known to be an active participant in political processes, always trying to interact with politicians of both parties.
Moreover, the Apple CEO has also repeatedly emphasized the importance of establishing a personal relationship with Trump, having developed a strategy whereby each meeting with the president was limited to one topic. This approach allowed for effective interaction without losing focus on important issues.
