WASHINGTON--President Trump said Thursday morning that he asked Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook during their meeting if the tech giant could help build 5G wireless networks in the U.S.

Referring to Apple, Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter, "They have it all - Money, Technology, Vision & Cook!"

Mr. Trump and Mr. Cook met Wednesday and toured an Apple factory in Texas.

The Trump administration has sought to encourage the expansion of 5G technology in the U.S. Earlier this week, a bipartisan coalition of senators urged the administration to create a new White House position to coordinate 5G policy, warning in a letter that the U.S. could fall behind on developing the technology without a more "coherent national strategy."
