Oracle Corp. Chief Executive Officer Safra Catz said she discussed the U.S. Defense Department’s cloud-computing contract with President Donald Trump, and understands that the Pentagon’s plan is to find only one provider.

"It just made no sense,” she told journalists at Oracle’s offices in Petach Tikva, Israel. "I never heard of something like a single cloud and I would challenge anyone to point at a significant commercial customer who has one cloud.”
