Apple CEO Tim Cook will meet President Donald Trump Wednesday, according to an official schedule released by the White House.

根据白宫发布的官方日程,苹果首席执行官蒂姆库克将于周三会见美国总统特朗普。

The meeting is scheduled for 1.45 p.m. Washington, D.C., time. It will be closed to the press. There was no agenda for the meeting posted or hints towards what could be discussed, but a White House official said the meeting was "trade related".

会见时间是华盛顿时间25日下午1时45分,本次会见不对媒体开放,没有会议议程,没有讨论的具体内容。但是据一名白宫官员表示,会和贸易有关。

The meeting comes at a time of heightened trade tensions between the U.S. and China with technology caught up in the spat. Both countries have proposedimport tariffs on each others’ products, but the U.S. has been tough on Chinese technology firms. For example, the government banned U.S. firms from providing technology to Chinese firm ZTE.

本次会面选在了中美贸易摩擦的紧张时刻。两国对针对对方出台了一系列的关税政策,但美国已经对中国的科技企业下手了,例如,政府禁止美国公司向中国中兴通讯提供技术。

China is a key market for Apple, one that it has struggled in recently and a potential cause for concern from some investors for Apple’s upcoming earnings.

中国一直是苹果产品的关键市场。而苹果公司近日也在四处奔走,以应对部分投资人对苹果公司收益以及可能出现的某些情况的担忧。

The meeting also comes a day after Cook attended the state dinner held for French President Emmanuel Macron who is visiting the U.S.

在这次会议召开的前一天,库克出席了为访美的法国总统马克龙举行的国宴。
