Cook has attempted to have a cordial relationship with Trump, and recently took Trump to
tour Apple operations in Austin, Texas, but there have been tensions between the two due to an ongoing trade dispute with China and more recently, Apple's
refusal to unlock the iPhones used by Florida shooter Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.
Ahead of the breakfast with Trump, Cook on Tuesday met with the prime ministers of Finland, Spain, and Croatia, but it's not known what was discussed.
