		</div><p>Apple boss Tim Cook has told British Prime Minister Theresa May the technology giant is &#8220;very optimistic&#8221; about the UK&#8217;s future after Brexit.</p>
<p>Mr Cook met the British Prime Minister at Downing Street this morning and referenced the company&#8217;s plans to build a new UK headquarters at the redeveloped Battersea Power Station as proof of the company&#8217;s support of the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re doubling down on a huge headquarters in the Battersea area and we&#8217;re leaving significant space there to expand,&#8221; Mr Cook said.<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re a big believer in the UK &#8211; we think you&#8217;ll be just fine. Yes, there will be bumps in the road along the way but the UK&#8217;s going to be fine.&#8221;</p>
<p>Last year the iPhone maker revealed it would move 1,600 employees to the new campus in south London in 2021.</p>
<p>In a statement about the meeting, Apple said: &#8220;Tim had a positive meeting with the Prime Minister today, discussing Apple&#8217;s continued investment in the United Kingdom.<br />
&#8220;We are proud that Apple&#8217;s innovation and growth now supports nearly 300,000 jobs across the UK.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Cook also met mayor of London Sadiq Khan during his time in the capital, with Mr Khan tweeting he was &#8220;delighted&#8221; to welcome the Apple boss to &#8220;discuss talent, digital skills and Apple&#8217;s investment in London&#8221;.</p>
<p>Upon receiving an honorary degree from the University of Glasgow on Wednesday night, Mr Cook also voiced his opposition to President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration ban, saying: &#8220;If we stand and say nothing it&#8217;s as if we&#8217;re agreeing&#8221;.</p>
<p>Apple has been among a host of technology giants who have voiced their concerns over the travel ban, which focuses on those with links to seven predominately Muslim countries.<br />
Mr Cook has been chief executive of Apple since 2011, when he succeeded the company&#8217;s late founder Steve Jobs.</p>
<p>Since then Apple has gone on to break profit and company sales records by introducing the Apple Watch, iPad Pro and several generations of the iPhone.</p>
