Trumps to Host Industry Tech Leaders Today at AI Event at The White House.

Tech industry leaders including Meta Platforms Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple Inc.’s Tim Cook, and Microsoft Corp.’s Satya Nadella are expected to attend an artificial intelligence event hosted by First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday and then join President Donald Trump for an evening reception in the newly renovated Rose Garden.

Other attendees are expected to include OpenAI Inc.’s Sam Altman, Alphabet Inc.’s Sergey Brinand Sundar Pichai, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, a White House official said. Alexandr Wang, who recently joined Meta’s AI effort, also is among the invitees.  

Trump has actively courted AI firms as part of a broader push to promote domestic manufacturing, with billions of dollars in corporate commitments helping to drive data center construction. He’s also indicated that some companies — including Apple — could escape his planned tariffs on products including semiconductors after announcing expanded domestic manufacturing plans

Trump recently installed stone pavers in the Rose Garden after complaining that the existing grass was unsuitable for hosting large events. The President has also overseen the installation of patio tables, umbrellas and a sound system that together recreate the vibe of the patio at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
