# President Trump, Tech Leaders Unite to Power American AI Dominance

The White House
September 5, 2025

Last night, President Donald J. Trump and the First Lady hosted an extraordinary gathering of technology industry leaders at the White House for discussions centered on harnessing artificial intelligence to propel the U.S. to the forefront of global innovation.

Building on the Trump Administration’s visionary AI Action Plan and the First Lady’s leadership to support AI education, this public-private collaboration is fueling unprecedented growth in infrastructure and innovation as the U.S. leads this new frontier of scientific breakthrough.

Here’s what the tech leaders had to say about their transformative partnership with the Trump Administration:

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: “Thank you for being such a pro-business, pro-innovation President. It’s a very refreshing change. We’re very excited to see what you’re doing to make our companies and our entire country so successful. The investment that’s happening here, the ability to get the power of the industry back in the United States, is going to set us up for a long period of great success leading the world — and I don’t think that would be happening without your leadership.”

Google co-founder Sergey Brin: “It’s a real incredible inflection point right now in AI and the fact that your Administration is supporting our companies instead of fighting with them — it’s hugely important. It’s a global race and I think we’re at the cusp where these AI models are about to become profoundly useful… so we’re very grateful for your Administration’s support.”

Open AI President Greg Brockman: “We’ve been just very impressed with how this Administration has really embraced AI. In addition to the most massive infrastructure building in history… There has been a choice of whether to approach it with optimism, and I think that that’s what I’ve really seen from this Administration, so I just wanted to say thank you for that.”

Oracle CEO Safra Catz: “This is a most incredible time. AI is going to change everything — you hear all of us saying that — but the fact that you are our President and you recognized this right away, and you’ve unleashed American innovation and creativity — all the work you’re doing in basically every cabinet post in addition to what’s coming out of the White House — is making it possible for America to win.”

Apple CEO Tim Cook: “I want to thank you for setting the tone such that we could make a major [$600 billion] investment in the United States and have some key manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, here. I think that says a lot about your focus and your leadership and your focus on innovation. I also want to thank you for helping American companies around the world. This is a very key, key thing, and I really enjoy working with your Administration.”

Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella: “Thank you so much for bringing us all together, and the policies that you have put in place for the United States to lead. One of the things that I think has made this industry unique is not only the innovation, but it’s the market access that you have obviously championed for us all over the world and also the trust the world has on American technology. I think that everything that you’re doing in terms of setting in place the platform where the rest of the world can not only use our technology, but trust our technology more than any other alternative, is perhaps the most important issue — and you and your policies are really help a lot.”

Alphabet, Inc., and Google CEO Sundar Pichai: “The AI moment is one of the most transformative moments any of us have ever seen or will see in our lifetimes, so making sure the U.S. is at the forefront — and I think that your Administration is investing a lot already. The AI Action Plan, under your leadership, I think is a great start, and we look forward to working together — and thanks for your leadership.”

AMD Chair and CEO Lisa Su: “The incredible work that your administration has done to support the semiconductor industry… the amount of acceleration that we’ve seen just in the few short months that the Administration has been in place — we’re so grateful for that support.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg: “This is quite a group to get together — and I think all of the companies here are making huge investments in the country in order to build out data centers and infrastructure to power the next wave of innovation… [Meta is investing] at least $600 billion through 2028 in the U.S.”
