Apple CEO Tim Cook has visited the White House as King Charles III of the UK is on his first state visit to the United States. The visit was part of a larger event that included a formal reception, a speech from President Trump, an address to Congress, and a state dinner. The U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, congratulated Cook on his leadership and contributions to American technology. This is not the first time Cook has met with Charles, who visited Apple's Battersea Power Station office in London in December 2024 to celebrate Apple's work with The King's Trust.
