After the presentation of WWDC 2017, the head of Apple Tim Cook gave an interview to Bloomberg TV, in which he called the decision of US President Donald Trump the withdrawal from the Paris agreement on climate.

Cook asked Trump not to take the country out of this agreement. The decision of the head of the American state he called "erroneous".

"He listened to me, but this was not the decision we expected, giving our advice and thinking that we would be heard. He decided not what I wanted from him. This is wrong, it does not meet the interests of the United States, "said Tim Cook.

The head of Apple said that he could enter any of the advisory councils under the president, but he does not, because he believes that they are "very unproductive". "My main task is to manage the company, and I spend most of my time on this," he said.. However, Cook does not exclude the provision of his advice and recommendations to the White House on any issues in the future.

The general director emphasized that he considers the Paris agreement to be extremely important, since it is "necessary globally, the whole world" to combat climate change. "Individual countries can not solve this problem," he said..

Earlier, the head of Tesla Elon Mask announced his withdrawal from the expert councils under the US president because of the ambiguous decision of Trump. Entrepreneur wrote on Twitter:

"I'm leaving the presidential councils. Climate change is a reality ". According to him, he took this step "for reasons of principle".

Trump announced the withdrawal of the country from the Paris climate agreement on June 1. The US president announced that the United States will no longer comply with measures to combat global warming, as stipulated in the agreement. According to him, the conditions on which the United States observed it were unprofitable for the American economy.
