Cook will dine with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday, The New York Times reported, citing sources.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have already met with Trump, while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is expected to meet with him next week as tech giants look to strengthen ties with the incoming administration.
Cook, who had a better relationship with Trump than other tech leaders like Bezos during his first term, was quick to praise Trump after he won the election last month.

“This is not going to happen,” Trump said he told Cook.
