Tech CEOs, Trump Talk Modernizing Government

(19 Jun 2017) The White House on Monday urged technology CEOs to pitch in on President Donald Trump's effort to modernize government.
Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos were among those attending an afternoon of working groups on issues like technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and visas for foreign workers.
The administration drew a mix of flattery and policy requests from the assembled technology leaders and university officials. Cook, the Apple CEO, requested that computer coding be taught in every public school.
The gathering was the first event for a technology-focused effort within the White House Office of American Innovation, which seeks to overhaul government functions using ideas from the business sector. Several of the executives complimented Jared Kushner, senior adviser and son-in-law to Trump, and his wife, Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and a senior adviser, for helping to drive the initiative.
