Biden Hosts Big Tech Moguls, Clintons, de Niro at State Dinner for Japan PM Who Compares Countries’ Relationship to ‘Star Trek’
President Biden hosted Bill and Hillary Clinton alongside billionaire Big Tech titans Wednesday night at the White House for a state dinner in honor of visiting Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The Clintons and actor Robert De Niro joined the head table in the White House East Room, where more than 200 guests dined on house-cured salmon and dry-aged rib-eye steak.
Billionaire Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and Apple CEO Tim Cook sat at tables nearby.
JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who was spotted with wine glass in hand ahead of Biden and Kishida giving introductory toasts, were also toward the center of the room.
“We both remember the choices that were made to forge a friendship,” Biden, 81, said during his toast. “We both remember the hard work, what it has done to find healing.” (Read more from “Biden Hosts Big Tech Moguls, Clintons, de Niro at State Dinner for Japan PM Who Compares Countries’ Relationship to ‘Star Trek’” HERE)
