Apple To Take Legal Action Against Trump's Veto To Immigrants
Apple might be considering taking legal action against the veto of Donald Trump immigrants and thus pressure the administration to prevent the implementation of the measure, as said executive director of the company, Tim Cook, an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Cook said that hundreds of employees of the multinational were affected by the order, which temporarily stopped the arrival in the United States of refugees and immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries. "I'm in touch with people of very, very high rank in the White House trying to make them see the importance of repealing the executive order, not only for Apple but for the whole country," he added.
The chief of the Cupertino also said he did not rule out taking legal action against the presidential decree, although for now he and his company are putting pressure on the White House to be revoked and left "as a bad memory in history Of the first week of Trump's rule. "
"More than any other country in the world, the US is strong because of our immigrant background and our ability and ability to welcome people no matter what their origin. That's what makes us special," Cook said.
Proponents of the Trump decree insist that the executive order aims to "protect the nation from foreign terrorists" and does not violate anyone's right. The first amendment to the US Constitution protects the right to freedom of worship, expression, and the press.
It should be recalled that, although Trump harshly criticized Apple during the election campaign - especially for the manufacture of its products abroad - relations seem to have improved since the Republican came to the presidency.
Silicon Valley has already expressed its rejection of the measure in recent days. Google employees and executives have raised their voices with significant demonstrations in the company's offices, and companies like Lyft will donate so that NGOs can continue to defend the rights of immigrants. Cook also said that Apple was committed to double the donations made by its employees to refugee aid funds.
