Tim Cook thanks American heroes in Memorial Day post on X

Every year on Memorial Day, Tim Cook shares a message of recognition to the U.S. soldiers who died serving the country’s Armed Forces. This year, Cook chose to highlight the courage and selflessness of the country’s fallen soldiers.

Here’s Cook’s post:

We are grateful for all those who fought for our freedom. On Memorial Day, we reflect on the courage and selflessness of the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

No escape from current tensions

Cook’s post comes just days after President Trump threatened new tariffs on Apple, reportedly in retaliation for Cook skipping a recent Middle East trip, and the replies are as mixed and polarized as one could expect, even on a patriotic holiday.

This underscores Apple’s position in the crossfire between its broader business interests and the emerging tension in its relationship with the current government.
