Investing.com -- Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s Google recently met with the Trump administration, urging them to reconsider their push to dismantle the search engine company. The meeting took place last week, according to Reuters

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently pursuing two anti-monopoly cases against Google, focusing on their search and advertising technology operations. These cases are a significant part of the government’s ongoing efforts to regulate big tech companies.

In response to Reuters, a Google spokesperson stated, "We routinely meet with regulators, including the DOJ to discuss this case. As we’ve publicly said, we’re concerned the current proposals would harm the American economy and national security."

The spokesperson emphasized Google’s concern about the potential negative impact of the proposed actions on the broader U.S. economy and national security.
