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

Apple CEO Tim Cook presented a unique gift to President Donald Trump during a White House press conference discussing Apple's new U.S. manufacturing plans. The gift was a 24-karat gold and glass statue featuring a large disc of glass with the Apple logo cut into it. The glass was designed by a former U.S. Marine Corps corporal who works at Apple, and the gold base was sourced from Utah. The statue also included President Trump's name printed on the top of the glass and a signature that appears to be Cook's, along with the message "Made in USA" and the year 2025. The gesture is seen as part of Cook's efforts to foster a relationship with the president, as Trump has threatened tariffs on phone manufacturers unless they bring more manufacturing to the U.S.
