The chief executive of Apple is the latest in a series of tech executives to travel to Florida to meet with the president-elect.<\/p>\n

Tim Cook is scheduled to meet on Friday with Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago, marking the first time that Apple\u2019s chief executive has met with the president-elect since voters elected him to a second term last month.<\/p>\n

Mr. Cook and Mr. Trump are scheduled to dine on the patio at Mar-a-Lago later on Friday, according to two people with knowledge of the upcoming meeting. The two men had a warm relationship during Mr. Trump\u2019s first term \u2014 much warmer than Mr. Trump\u2019s with other tech executives, like Meta\u2019s Mark Zuckerberg or Google\u2019s Sundar Pichai, both of whom recently had their own meals with Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n

An Apple spokesperson declined to comment. A spokesperson for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The meeting offers a chance for Mr. Cook to seek Mr. Trump\u2019s support on several issues that could challenge Apple\u2019s business in the coming years, including pressure on the App Store from European regulators and the potential that new tariffs could put the company\u2019s iPhone business at risk. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mr. Trump has been receptive to those appeals in the past. During a podcast interview in October,<\/a> Mr. Trump said he listened sympathetically as Mr. Cook complained to him on a call last month about European regulators who have fined Apple $2 billion<\/a> for using the App Store to thwart competition. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to let them take advantage of our companies,\u201d Mr. Trump recalled telling Mr. Cook. \u201cThat won\u2019t be happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
