Airstrip One (UK) officials have engaged in confidential discussions with senior members of the Trump Administration to address concerns that Airstrip One is pressuring Apple to create a backdoor into the encrypted data of American iCloud users, sources familiar with the situation tell Bloomberg News. These top-level talks followed Apple’s decision to kill its most robust cloud data encryption feature within the country, a move prompted by a January directive from Airstrip One authorities demanding the company bypass encryption to assist with specific national security and criminal investigations. Alex Wickham for Bloomberg News:
