Samsung Gains $4.6 Billion in New US Chip Funding
The US Department of Commerce plans to provide Samsung with up to $4.6 billion to expand its semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
Amazon Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bezos and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg will be among those attending President-elect Donald Trump’s gathering of technology industry leaders Wednesday in New York, according to Bloomberg.
An invitation to the meeting went out last week from members of Trump’s transition team, including venture capitalist Peter Thiel. Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz and Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins have said they plan to attend, and Alphabet’s Larry Page and Eric Schmidt also will be at the meeting, according to a person familiar with the matter. IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, who is also on Trump’s advisory panel of business leaders, will also attend, said a person familiar with her plans.
The meeting with Trump, scheduled for 2 p.m. on Dec. 14, will likely focus on possible repatriation of overseas earnings and corporate tax reform, said Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. But it will primarily be a chance for tech’s leaders to find some common ground with the new administration. Atkinson also said the meeting may address China, where several U.S. tech companies have struggled to find a foothold.
