Leaders of major American companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, and Netflix are meeting with President-elect Trump at Mar-a-Lago, driven by expectations of stable corporate tax rates and deregulation under his administration. According to Kevin O’Leary, these CEOs are seeking to align with Trump due to his pro-business stance and the Republican Party's control over the government, which is expected to benefit the economy. O’Leary highlights the enthusiasm surrounding Trump's tax and deregulation policies, viewing them as favorable compared to the prior administration's green energy initiatives.
