Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos to attend Kushner tech summit: report

Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz and Cisco Systems CEO Chuck Robbins are confirmed as guests at the next White House tech summit on June 19.

About a dozen tech leaders — including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Alphabet Chairman Eric Schmidt and others — are expected to attend, according to Bloomberg News. Facebook was issued an invitation but has not responded, the news organization said.

The inaugural meeting of The American Technology Council, President Trump’s group formed to modernize government services, should make for awkward body language — as a previous tech summit did in December.

The president formed the council to "transition and modernize" government information technology and digital services in a May 1 executive order. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, heads the group. In the December meeting, executives discussed jobs, trade,

and immigration.

An Oracle spokeswoman confirmed Catz will attend, as did a Cisco spokeswoman speaking on behalf of Robbins.

Oracle CEO Safra Catz speaks during a meeting with President-elect Donald Trump and technology industry leaders at Trump Tower in New York.

Microsoft declined comment.

Apple, Facebook, Alphabet and Amazon could not be immediately reached for comment.

Noticeably absent will be Tesla CEO Elon Musk who, along with Disney CEO Robert Iger, quit the president's economic advisory council after the Paris decision.

The latest confab comes weeks after Cook, Nadella and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey raised objections to Trump's decision to exit the Paris climate deal.
