Amazon has announced a $1 million donation to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.
According to report, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed the donation on Thursday,
“Amazon is donating $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund,” they stated
The company’s Prime Video service will stream the inauguration, with the in-kind contribution valued at $1 million.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has also donated $1 million to the inauguration fund for President-elect Donald Trump. This fund is typically used to cover events and activities associated with the transition of a new president into office.
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, dined with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November as part of efforts to repair relations between the tech company and the president-elect.
This follows years of tension, with Trump previously criticizing Facebook as “anti-Trump” in 2017.
Meta’s donation to Trump’s inauguration fund is notable as the company did not make similar contributions to President Joe Biden’s 2020 inaugural fund or Trump’s previous fund in 2016.
