President Donald Trump assured Apple CEO Tim Cook that the US government wouldn't levy tariffs on iPhones, which are assembled in China, the New York Times reported Monday.

Cook visited the White House last month to warn Trump that his trade policies with China could have an adverse affect on new corporate-tax rules and that tariffs were effectively a tax on consumers, sources told the newspaper.
