Trump Pledge: Trump and Tech Executives

trump pledge: The CEOs planning to attend include Apple Tim Cook, Alphabet Larry Page, Microsoft Satya Nadella, Amazon Jeff Bezos, Intel Brian Krzanich, IBM Ginni Rometty, Oracle Safra Catz and Cisco Systems Chuck Robbins, according to The Waterloo Record. Facebook chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, will be on hand instead of its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, who was one of many tech executives to express misgivings about Trump pledge to deport millions of immigrants. On Wednesday, Silicon Valley luminaries and other technology leaders are headed to Trump Tower in New York to make their peace or press their case with Trump and his advisers. It could be a prickly meeting. In an open letter published in July, more than 140 technology executives, entrepreneurs and venture capitalists skewered Trump as a disaster for innovation. No other industry was more open in its contempt for Trump during the campaign. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
