President Obama called Apple CEO Tim Cook and three other Fortune 500 company CEOs on the weekend to discuss the fiscal cliff and economic growth, a White House official told CNN.
Obama's conversations were part of his "outreach on the need to find a balanced deficit-reduction solution that protects the middle class and continues to move our economy forward," the official said.
The CEOs he contacted were Tim Cook of Apple, Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase, Jim McNerney of Boeing, and Craig Jelinek of Costco, according to the official.
Obama's conversations follow the gathering of a dozen CEOs of other major American companies at the White House on Wednesday.
