Did they talk about global health or their old friend Jeffrey Epstein?
Bill Gates met with President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, according to multiple reports. What did the two men talk about? It sounds like Gates wanted to discuss global health initiatives. But news about recent moves by Gates to distance himself from a liberal nonprofit has folks wondering if there’s more going on with the Microsoft co-founder.
Trump’s meeting with Gates, first reported by NBC News, occurred “to discuss the importance of U.S. global health programs and health research that is necessary to save lives, protect Americans’ health, and preserve U.S. leadership in the world,” according to a statement by Gates’s representative to the New York Times.
President Trump has done tremendous damage to global health, taking a chainsaw to foreign aid programs administered by the U.S. government around the world. One of Trump’s first acts to start his second term was to abolish the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), along with the help of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
