The company had reportedly been considering moving production to Asia but said the Trump administration’s decision to waive tariffs on certain parts made in China as one of the reasons for its decision to keep producing the computer in Texas. During the plant tour, Trump looked over an unfinished Mac Pro computer while Cook pointed out the device’s different parts. A worker explained part of the assembly process then held up the bottom of a computer to show the inscription: “Assembled in the USA.”More: Highlights from Sondland's testimony: 'Rudy was the guy' driving Trump's Ukraine aims
But the rapport between Trump and Cook has not always been smooth. Cook has publicly criticized Trump’s stance on climate change and other issues. In October, Trump went on a Twitter rant against Cook over Apple’s decision two years ago to scrap the home button on new models of the iPhone.
