Delhi, December 19, 2024 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was spotted going to Mar-a-Lago to have dinner with Donald Trump Wednesday night, December 18, New York Post reported. Bezos was seen walking in with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez for their first dinner with the president-elect after the election victory.
Last week, Trump had said Bezos would visit him at his Florida mansion. Bezos, believed to be hoping to get in Trump’s good graces before inauguration, had told the president-elect’s team that he would donate $1 million to his inaugural fund, the Wall Street Journal reported.
When Jeff Bezos said he is ‘optimistic’ about Donald Trump’s second term
Although Trump and Bezos’ relationship appeared to be rocky over the years, it seemed to improve after the billionaire’s newspaper, the Washington Post, refused to endorse any candidate in the 2024 presidential election. With this move, the newspaper broke tradition from usually backing Democrats.
During an interview at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit in New York earlier this month, the tech mogul said he is “optimistic” about Trump’s second term. “I’m actually very optimistic this time around,” Bezos said. “He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation. If I can help do that, I’m going to help him.”
He added, “We do have too many regulations in this country.”
Trump, meanwhile, said he had warm feelings about re-establishing ties with business leaders before he takes office for the second time. After ringing the New York Stock Exchange bell last week, Trump said of his relationship with business leaders, “I want to get ideas from them.”
