Trump Hosts Tech Titans at White House Rose Garden for AI-Focused Dinner
President Donald Trump convened a high-profile gathering of the nation’s leading tech executives at a lavish dinner in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden yesterday. The exclusive event, which followed a separate meeting on artificial intelligence hosted by First Lady Melania Trump, brought together giants from Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI, underscoring the administration’s deep engagement with the tech sector.
Key figures in attendance included Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, and Google’s Sergey Brin and Sundar Pichai. Notably absent from the distinguished guest list was Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose recent public disagreements with the President have garnered significant attention.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle highlighted the event’s prestige, stating, “The Rose Garden Club at the White House is the hottest place to be in Washington, or perhaps the world.” Ingle emphasized the President’s enthusiasm for welcoming such prominent leaders to the newly paved Rose Garden patio.
This dinner aligns with the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to foster innovation by embracing tech leaders and actively working to remove regulatory barriers to artificial intelligence development. Venture capitalist and White House AI czar David Sacks was also among the attendees. Earlier in the day, the First Lady’s White House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence Education met to promote the integration of AI into educational systems across the country.
