Apple made a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump

At a White House press conference to discuss Apple's new US manufacturing plans, CEO Tim Cook presented a gift to President Donald Trump: a unique" piece of glass from iPhone glass manufacturer Corning that's set in a 24-karat gold base.

The piece of glass is a large disc with the Apple logo cut into it. On the top of the glass, President Trump's name is printed. On the bottom, there's a signature that appears to be Cook's as well as the message Made in USA" and the year 2025. The glass was designed by a former US Marine Corps corporal" who works at Apple, according to Cook. The base comes from Utah."

Cook is well known for his ability to foster a relationship with President Trump, and shortly after Trump was elected for his second term, CEOs reportedly looked to replicate Cook's relationship-building skills. Trump has threatened Apple and other phone manufacturers with tariffs unless they bring manufacturing to the US.
