They're currently antagonizing Trumpelon by refusing to halt DEI stuff, so they might not get any help.

I'd probably categorize that more as "declining to halt" rather than "refusing to halt", AFAIK the US government doesn't have an actual law/mandate/whatever for non-governmental organizations on that front.

Tim Cook is a master of negotiating with governments. See how he played off China and the US during Trump's first term to avoid both American tariffs and Nike-style Chinese boycotts.

If he's antagonising Trump it's for a reason. Perhaps to avoid showing weakness by being too keen.
