President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has invited five major tech companies, including Google, Microsoft and Meta Platforms, to a meeting in mid-December about dealing with online drug sales, according to a person with direct knowledge of the correspondence.
A representative for Jim Carroll—the drug czar during Trump’s first term—and Trump’s transition team emailed staffers from the three tech giants Thursday, as well as from Snap and TikTok, to invite them to a call, the person said. The transition officials want to hear from the companies about their priorities and any barriers to addressing issues around the sales of drugs online, the person said.
