Google, Boeing, and Other Big Businesses Contribute to Trump’s Inauguration Fund

Major corporations including Amazon, Google, and Boeing have each donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund.

The US aviation behemoth Boeing said that it will contribute $1 million (£812,600) to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.

As the two businesses join an increasing number of well-known American corporations that are contributing to the fund, Google has also acknowledged that it has made a similar payment.

The tech behemoths Uber, Amazon, and Meta are also on the list, along with oil company Chevron.

The commencement of Trump’s second term in the White House is scheduled for January 20th with his inauguration.

Boeing stated, “We are happy to carry on our bipartisan tradition of supporting the US Presidential Inaugural Committees.”

The business went on to say that it had contributed similarly to each of the previous three presidential inauguration funds.

In addition to dealing with the losses from a strike last year, Boeing is trying to recover from a safety and quality control problem.

Additionally, the business is constructing Air Force One, the next presidential aircraft. It is anticipated that the two aircraft will begin operations as early as next year.

Trump pushed the aircraft manufacturer to renegotiate its contract during his first term in office, claiming the original agreement was too costly.

After Meta and Amazon made similar statements, Google was the most recent major tech company to donate to the fund. Additionally, it stated that the event would be streamed globally.

Google’s worldwide head of government affairs and public policy, Karan Bhatia, stated, “Google is happy to support the 2025 inauguration, with a livestream on YouTube and a direct link on our homepage.”

Additionally, the first committee has received $1 million from each of the automakers Ford, General Motors, and Toyota.

Chevron, an energy company, acknowledged that it had donated to the fund, but it would not disclose the amount.

“Chevron has a long history of honoring democracy by lending funds to both parties’ inaugural committees. Chevron’s manager of international media relations, Bill Turene, stated, “We are honored to be doing so once more this year.”
