Tim Cook has been courting Donald Trump for years in his dealings with the US president.

Trump imposed crushing tariffs not only on China , but also on countries such as Vietnam and India .

Cook was the architect of Apple ’s shift to China a quarter of a century ago , and then its gradual decoupling.

The blow threatens to raise questions over Cook 's years -long courting of Trump .

The slide wiped more than $10bn off Nike ’s value in one day , seen by some as payback for the company.

Cook will inevitably be seeking to use his relationship with Trump to push for leniency.

He has already promised to invest $ 500bn in the US over the next four years .

Trump may simply be demanding that Apple brings production home.
