NEW YORK — Google, Apple and other tech giants expressed dismay over an executive order on immigration from President Donald Trump that bars nationals of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S. BITING BACK“I share your concerns” about Trump’s immigration order, Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote in a memo to employees obtained by The Associated Press. Cook didn’t say how many Apple employees are directly affected by the order, but said the company’s HR, legal and security teams are in contact to support them. Google CEO Sundar Pichai told employees in the note that at least 187 Google workers could be affected by Trump’s order. “If we want to buy American and hire American, we do that best by creating companies in America,” he said.
