President Donald Trump and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had a previously unannounced meeting at the White House on Thursday, a Facebook spokesperson said.
"Mark is in Washington, D.C., meeting with policymakers to hear their concerns and talk about future internet regulation. He also had a good, constructive meeting with President Trump at the White House today," said the spokesperson, Andy Stone.
Trump tweeted a photo from the meting, which he called "nice."
The company did not say how long the meeting was, who else attended or what the topics were.
Trump lashed out at Facebook in June, suggesting the government should sue the social media giant as well as Google.
"Look, we should be suing Google and Facebook and all that, which perhaps we will, OK?" Trump told Fox Business Network then. He said the Big Tech companies are "all Democrats" and "totally biased towards Democrats."
Earlier in the day Wednesday, Zuckerberg met with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Josh Hawley of Missouri.
