Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States in a few days, and according to The Washington Post, Google has announced a $1 million donation for his inauguration.
It is not uncommon for companies to donate to U.S. presidential inaugurations. Trump recently received million-dollar donations from companies like Ford, Toyota, General Motors, Amazon, Meta, Uber, as well as individuals such as Sam Altman from OpenAI and Tim Cook from Apple.
However, Google is involved in antitrust issues after the Department of Justice, under Joe Biden’s administration, began pushing for changes within the company, including the sale of its Chrome browser.
On the other hand, Trump has suggested that he is not in favor of breaking up the company. Therefore, Google’s donation serves as an opportunity to strengthen ties with the elected president, with whom it had already tried to improve relations through other gestures.
