CEOs in the technology industry took turns praising Trump at the White House dinner.

President Trump hosted a meeting with leaders of the world's largest technology companies on Thursday, which resembled a replica of his cabinet meetings. Participants took turns thanking and praising Trump for his efforts in promoting chip manufacturing and investments in artificial intelligence. Tech giants, including Apple CEO Tim Cook and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, expressed their gratitude to President Trump, with some outlining the scale of their companies' plans for investments in the United States. "Thank you for being such a pro-business, innovation-encouraging president. This is a very refreshing change," Altman said. "I believe this will lay the foundation for us to lead the world for a long time, and none of this would have happened without your leadership." Cook stated that Apple expects to invest $600 billion in the United States. He said, "I want to thank you for setting the tone so that we can make significant investments in the U.S. and set up some key manufacturing operations here. I think this truly demonstrates your leadership and focus on innovation."
