Trump meets with AT&T executives
NEW YORK — It’s back to business for President-elect Donald Trump after a circus-like news conference in which he sparred mightily with reporters.
Trump met Thursday morning with Randall Stephenson and other executives from the telecommunications giant AT&T to discuss job creation in America.
Trump had said in October that if elected, his administration would not approve the $85 billion merger of AT&T and Time Warner because it would lead to “too much concentration of power in the hands of too few.” The deal requires sign-off from regulators in Washington, but Stephenson has said he’s confident the merger will be approved despite the president-elect’s objection.
Trump also took to Twitter to urge people to buy L.L. Bean products as the company faces calls for a boycott because of a family member’s donations to his candidacy.
