The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that he talked with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook about the financial penalties the EU has imposed on the company.

What Happened: In a conversation with Patrick Bet-David, released on Thursday, Trump said that Cook had reached out to him earlier that day.
