Washington, March 28
Donald Trump has said Google CEO Sunder Pichai assured him that the tech giant is “totally committed” to the US military and not the Chinese army as the President met him at the White House, days after he accused the California-based company of not supporting American interests.
Trump, who has been at loggerheads with several big companies, earlier this month said, “Google is helping China and their military, but not the US”.
On Wednesday, after a meeting with Indian-American Pichai at the White House, the US President said: “Meeting ended very well”. “Just met with @SundarPichai, President of @Google, who is obviously doing quite well,” he said.
Pichai “stated strongly that he is totally committed to the US military and not the Chinese military”, Trump said.
“Also discussed political fairness and various things that @Google can do for our country. Meeting ended very well!” said the President. There was no immediate tweet from Pichai.
A Google spokesperson said, “We were pleased to have productive conversations with the President about investing in the future of the American workforce, the growth of emerging technologies and our ongoing commitment to working with the US government,” said the Google spokesperson.— PTI
