Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg visited the White House to discuss how Meta can help the Trump administration with America's international tech leadership. Zuckerberg has expressed optimism that President Trump will support US tech dominance and protect companies from regulatory challenges. He has made changes within Meta to align more closely with the Trump administration, including appointing a Republican strategist as the company's chief global affairs officer and allowing "insulting language" targeting immigrants and transgender individuals. Zuckerberg urged the government to assist in securing victory in the artificial intelligence race. Some Democrats and critics view Zuckerberg's efforts to court the president as a way to protect his company from legal or policy challenges. Meta recently settled a lawsuit with Trump over the suspension of his accounts following the Capitol insurrection.
