Pentagon Hands Microsoft a $10 Billion Contract
-----------------------------------------------

The Pentagon has awarded Microsoft a $10 billion technology contract to
work on the military's cloud computing systems, beating out its
competitors, including Amazon. President Trump reportedly told former
Defense Secretary James Mattis to "screw Amazon" out of receiving the
contract, according to a new book. President Trump has repeatedly
attacked Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post.
