Cook is reportedly slated to attend a session called H-1B\/immigration. <\/p>\n
Cook has been a longtime advocate of the merits and economic value immigrants provide for the American economy, contrasting largely with President Trump and some of his top advisers views that immigrants are taking jobs from American workers and hurting the economy. <\/p>\n
Following the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings in December 2015, Cook refused to provide the FBI with a backdoor encryption to open the terrorists iPhones. Cook argued that if he provided this opening, it would compromise customer's privacy and security and create a precedent. <\/p>\n
Trump had urged people to boycott Apple at the time, pointing to Cooks lack of cooperation with the investigation. <\/p>\n
Cook also is expected to bring up ways to improve how veterans receive medical care as well as human rights both in the U.S. and abroad. <\/p>\n
