WASHINGTON (AA) - Apple CEO Tim Cook met with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, CNN reported, citing an administration official.

The official did not disclose the subject of their discussion, it added.

The meeting came after Trump said Thursday that he spoke with Cook and told him not to expand his production facilities in India but to do so in the US.

Trump said he informed Cook that he does not want him to build production facilities in India, adding that Apple will be "upping their production in the United States" as a result of their discussion.

Earlier this month, Cook said the majority of iPhones sold in the US will be manufactured in India, while Vietnam will serve as the primary production hub for nearly all iPads, Macs, Apple Watches and AirPods sold in the US.

He added that China will continue to be the country of origin for the vast majority of total product sales outside the US.
