President Trump questioned Apple CEO Tim Cook about US investments during a White House tech dinner, referencing Apple's India operations as Cook announced $600 billion commitment. Trump pressed other CEOs too: Zuckerberg pledged $600 billion for Meta, Pichai committed $250 billion over two years for Google, while Nadella announced $75-80 billion for Microsoft this year. The questioning follows Trump's May warning to Cook against building in India, despite Apple's plans to manufacture 25% of global iPhones there. Apple reportedly told Indian officials it won't slow expansion, planning $2.5 billion investment to boost production from 40 million to 60 million units annually. The dinner included prominent tech leaders discussing AI advancement and US manufacturing priorities. (PC: India Today & CNN)
