\"President Donald Trump on Wednesday stepped up his pressure over Apple's refusal to unlock iPhones for authorities in criminal cases.\
\
"Apple has to help us. And I'm very strong on it," Trump told "CNBC Squawk Box" co-host Joe Kernen from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. "They have the keys to so many criminals and criminal minds, and we can do things."\
\
Apple CEO Tim Cook has been credited with being able to work with the president and his administration in a way other Silicon Valley companies have stumbled. In November, Cook toured Apple's Austin campus with Trump.\
\
Trump told CNBC he's helped Apple a lot, including waivers from tariffs put on Chinese-made imports in the trade war between Washington and Beijing.\
\
"I've given them waivers, because it's a great company, but it made a big difference," Trump said.\"
