Top executives from Google, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and Qualcomm are planning to meet at the White House amid strained ties between President Donald Trump's administration and the tech industry.
   Â
The White House says the Thursday meeting will address efforts to advance American leadership in innovation and how that will affect jobs and the economy.
   Â
Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, IBM CEO Gini Rometty, Oracle co-CEO Safra Catz and Qualcomm CEO Steven Mollenkopf are among the expected attendees.
   Â
It's not clear if Trump is also attending. Some of Trump's policies on trade and immigration have antagonized the tech industry.
   Â
The president's daughter and adviser, Ivanka Trump, is attending a separate business gathering in Washington on Thursday that includes the CEOs of IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart, Boeing and AT&T.
