Larry Page, Tim Cook, the presidents of Apple and Google, together with the representatives of many large US IT companies will meet with Donald Trump in New York next week. He is organizing a technology conference in Trump Tower, and according to sources close to the event, many Silicon Valley leaders will be there.
This week, invitations were sent to attend this meeting, and approximately 12 of the most important IT leaders will be present there. The presidents of Microsoft, Cisco, IBM, Intel or Oracle will also participate, and Donald Trump will probably try to convince them to create more jobs in the US and repatriate their hundreds of billions of dollars from foreign accounts.
It is hard to say how much support Donald Trump will receive from those in Silicon Valley, but he criticized almost everyone in his election campaign. Of course, even Apple did not escape Trump's rhetoric, he promised to force Apple to produce its iPhone terminals in the USA, but also to repatriate its money in order to pay taxes for them.
Donald Trump and Tim Cook already talked on the phone a few weeks ago, but the president of Apple did not show his support for the president chosen by the Americans. In this idea, it will be interesting to see how the discussions will unfold, but there are good chances that Donald Trump will face more opposition than expected.
"Alphabet CEO Larry Page, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg are among the small group of top tech leaders who will attend a summit with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday at Trump Tower in Manhattan."
