President Donald Trump said in a tweet Wednesday he met with Google CEO Sundar Pichai about "political fairness" on the platform and the company's dealings in China.
"Meeting ended very well!" Trump said in a second tweet.
....Also discussed political fairness and various things that @Google can do for our Country. Meeting ended very well!
Pichai is in Washington to address Google's work in China, where it's reportedly planning a censored search engine that would comply with the Chinese government's strict laws for internet use. The Intercept reported Wednesday the company is performing something of a performance review of the project, code-named Dragonfly.
Google said Pichai would be meeting with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, Gen. Joseph Dunford, but his meeting with the President had not been previously reported.
The meeting appears to be a positive step for the Google executive, who has drawn criticism from Republican lawmaker for what they claim is political bias across Google's platforms. Trump previously said the company, along with Facebook and Twitter, was "treading on very, very troubled territory."
