Donald Trump has hosted Apple chief executive Tim Cook for a Friday evening dinner at the US President-elect’s Mar-a-Lago resort, sources said.

Mr Cook is the latest in a string of big tech leaders – including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos – who have sought to improve their standing with the incoming American leader after choppy relations with Mr Trump during his first term.
