WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House announced on Wednesday it will hold a summit on social media next month amid growing criticism from President Donald Trump and some in Congress.

The White House did not say who would take part in the July 11 gathering and major social media firms did not immediately confirm they would attend. White House spokesman Judd Deere said the meeting would "bring together digital leaders for a robust conversation on the opportunities and challenges of today’s online environment."
