Apple CEO Tim Cook is expected to meet with President Trump at the White House on Thursday, but further details about the meeting were not disclosed.
Cook is seen wanting to maintain good relations with Trump, especially as Apple is expected to be hit by the US-China trade war.
A 10% tax on products from China could make iPhones more expensive, and China is also considering revising Apple's rules and charges for its app store, which could lead to stricter regulations and higher costs for the company.
Cook previously managed to convince Trump to grant tariff exemptions to Apple products.
This time, however, Trump is seen not wanting to make an exemption due to differences of opinion between Cook and Trump on privacy.
According to Trump, Apple should allow law enforcement to access locked phones, but Apple does not agree because it could put users at risk of hacking and data breaches.
However, Cook stressed that he wants to work with the government.
