Mark Zuckerberg Meets With Trump at Mar-a-Lago
Mark Zuckerberg met Wednesday with President-elect Donald Trump in a rare face-to-face encounter, the latest attempt by the Meta CEO to establish a positive rapport with Trump.
The meeting, confirmed by three people with knowledge of the matter, was initiated by Zuckerberg, who has had a strained relationship with Trump over the past decade. Trump, who has long maintained that Meta has unfairly restrained him and other conservatives across its social media apps, has lobbed broadsides against Zuckerberg on social media and during stump speeches.
Zuckerberg flew in to West Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday evening before joining Trump at his hotel and club, Mar-a-Lago, on Wednesday, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the meeting. The two men largely exchanged pleasantries, with Zuckerberg congratulating Trump on winning the presidency.
After the early afternoon meeting, Trump and Zuckerberg planned to have dinner at Trump's hotel later that evening, the people said.
«It's an important time for the future of American innovation,» a Meta representative said in a statement. «Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming administration.»
