President Trump's relationship with those in the technology industry has often been frosty at best. Barring the odd exception, such as long-time supporter Peter Thiel, most of Silicon Valley's leaders have battled against Trump and his policies since the beginning of his campaign.

The relationship was further soured through the introduction of the controversial immigration ban at the start of the year. Trump's executive order preventing entry to the US for seven Muslim-majority countries saw tech rivals unite in their condemnation of the president's actions.

More recently, the decision to pull the US from the Paris agreement was also met with disdain by hundreds of tech and non-tech companies alike, and led to Elon Musk quitting Trump's advisory councils. But the White House hopes to build bridges with the industry during what it has dubbed "Tech Week."

The event, which will see a number of tech policy discussions take place throughout the week, began on Monday with the inaugural meeting of the American Technology Council that Trump established through an executive order in May.

During the meeting, Trump announced he is aiming for up to $1 trillion of tax savings over the next decade through a "sweeping transformation of the federal government's technology." According to Trump's son-in-law and chief advisor, Jared Kushner, the DoD still uses 8-inch floppy disks on some of its legacy systems, and federal agencies operate 6,100 data centers which could be "consolidated" and migrated to the cloud.

Tomorrow will see Trump meet with at least four drone companies - Kespry, AirMap, Airspace, and PrecisionHawk - to discuss the future of the industry. Other meetings are scheduled this week, including one that will cover 5G technology. The White House also plans to announce "additional tech reforms at the Department of Veterans Affairs on Friday."

Here's a full list (via Recode) of all those who attended Monday's meeting. Notable absentee Facebook was invited but blamed "scheduling conflicts" for its non-attendance. Elon Musk was also invited but declined to attend, unsurprisingly. While Twitter, which Trump seems to love, appears not to have been invited at all.
