Investing.com reported:
U.S. President Donald Trump met former Microsoft CEO and billionaire Bill Gates in the White House on Tuesday, NBC News reported, citing a senior White House official.
It was not immediately clear what the two discussed.
The meeting comes after Trump met several high-profile business executives in recent months, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, and Intel CEO Lip-Bu tan.
Very little is known about their meeting, which was apparently kept out of the public eye.
But, reportedly, the two spoke about “global health programs and health research.”
The New York Times has more:
Bill Gates met today with President Trump for the first known time since Trump was sworn in for his second term. Trump and Gates met “to discuss the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research that is necessary to save lives, protect Americans’ health, and preserve U.S. leadership in the world,” a Gates spokesperson said.
Trump has been steadily attacking the global health and foreign aid infrastructure that is core to the work of the Gates Foundation, and Gates has been flummoxed over how to handle it.
Maybe Gates is there to beg President Trump not to cut funding for his global “experiments?”
Or, maybe, President Trump is about to drop the hammer and Gates wants to cut a deal…
There are so many possibilities.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall…
What do you think President Trump’s meeting with Bill Gates was about?
