U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos on Tuesday at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, according to a source familiar with the matter. Sarandos, who has traditionally supported Democratic Party candidates, including donating to President Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, is expected to hold the meeting as part of an effort by several business leaders to establish a positive relationship with Trump following his election victory in November.
Sarandos has yet to comment publicly on the meeting. The news of the meeting was first reported by CNN’s Alayna Treene on X, previously known as Twitter. This comes amid broader efforts by corporate figures to align themselves with the incoming administration.
Additionally, Trump stated last week that he plans to meet with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos later this week. This ongoing engagement with prominent business leaders is seen as part of Trump’s broader strategy to foster alliances with major figures in the corporate world.
Trump’s discussions with high-profile executives like Sarandos and Bezos are likely to touch on a range of issues, reflecting the complex and evolving relationship between business leaders and political figures. In recent years, many top executives have faced pressure to navigate the political landscape carefully, balancing personal political views with the business interests of their companies. The outcome of these meetings could have implications for various industries, including entertainment, technology, and media.
