Following the resignation of Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that former Apple CEO Tim Cook should take over the chipmaker. Writing that "only one man" could replace Huang, Trump framed the move as "a Legend replaces a Legend." Colette Kress has stepped in as Nvidia's interim replacement amid Huang's departure. [1][2]
Cook stepped down as Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026, after 15 years in the position, handing executive duties to John Ternus. Cook remains at Apple as executive chairman of the board of directors, where his responsibilities focus on managing international ties, including Apple's relations with China, and engaging with global policymakers such as Trump.
