(Reuters) -Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg is lobbying U.S. President Donald Trump to agree to a settlement that would prevent the company from facing an antitrust trial later this month, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Meta and its representatives met with the president and his senior advisers ahead of an April 14 Federal Trade Commission trial that could force the company to unwind its acquisitions of messaging platform WhatsApp and image-sharing app Instagram.
