US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had asked Apple CEO Tim Cook to look into helping develop telecommunications infrastructure for 5G wireless networks in the United States.
“They have it all – Money, Technology, Vision & Cook!” Trump tweeted.

During my visit yesterday to Austin, Texas, for the startup of the new Mac Pro, & the discussion of a new one $billion campus, also in Texas, I asked Tim Cook to see if he could get Apple involved in building 5G in the U.S. They have it all - Money, Technology, Vision & Cook!l
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 21, 2019

Trump met Cook on Wednesday during his visit to Apple’s upcoming campus in Texas, in the latest sign of a close relationship between two of America’s most powerful men.
5G networks will offer data speeds up to 50 or 100 times faster than the current 4G networks, and serve as critical infrastructure for a range of industries.

Among US firms, Qualcomm Inc is the dominant player in radio chips that help mobiles connect to networks and Cisco Systems Inc which makes networking gear.
Mobile operators have to upgrade their networks with 5G gear made by the likes of China’s Huawei and ZTE, Sweden’s Ericsson and Finland’s Nokia.
Trump earlier said that the US intended to deploy 5G services rapidly and plans to cooperate with “like-minded nations” to promote security in next-generation 5G networks.
The US has been pressing nations not to grant Huawei access to future 5G networks and alleged Huawei’s equipment could be used by Beijing for spying, which the Chinese company has repeatedly denied.

The US Congress has been considering legislation to authorise up to US$1 billion for small and rural wireless providers to replace network equipment from companies, including Huawei and ZTE, that lawmakers say pose a national security risk.
Some of Apple’s rivals in the smartphone market – notably Samsung Electronics – have already released 5G devices, pressuring Apple to match the feature. Many carriers that are investing heavily to build 5G networks are also likely to put their marketing efforts behind 5G phones.

(FILES) In this file photo taken on March 25, 2019 Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks during an event launching Apple tv+ at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California. - When Jennifer Aniston signed up to help launch Apple's new streaming TV service with a star-studded drama set in the colorful, cutthroat world of morning news, it seemed straightforward enough. Then #MeToo happened. Aniston, preparing for her first return to television since "Friends," watched along with the rest of America in 2017 as anchors from NBC's Matt Lauer to CBS's Charlie Rose lost their jobs after being accused by women of sexual misconduct. "Once #MeToo happened, obviously the conversation has drastically changed -- and then we just incorporated it," said Aniston, who stars in "The Morning Show" along with Reese Witherspoon.
