President Donald Trump, right, speaks as Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, listens during the American Technology Council roundtable hosted at the White House in Washington, D.C.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is not a fan of President Donald Trump's trade policy with China.

The technology executive shared what he told Trump in a recent meeting at the White House.

"I talked about trade and the importance of trade, and how I felt that two countries trading together make the pie larger," Cook said during an interview with Carlyle Group co-founder David Rubenstein in a clip that aired Tuesday on Bloomberg Television.

"I felt that tariffs were not the right approach there. I showed him [Trump] some analytical kind of things to demonstrate why," Cook added.
