CNBC reported NVIDIA and Cisco confirmed donations of multiple mln dollars to a renovation of a Trump White House banquet hall. NVIDIA said the contributions reflect support for the U.S. and were independent of commercial interests. The Washington Post reported Amazon, Palantir, ServiceNow, Meta and Microsoft also gave multi-mln sums; Cisco and ServiceNow each confirmed $5 mln and NVIDIA and Apple each committed $25 mln, the largest reported donations. Gifts were routed through a nonprofit trust and donors received a pledge form naming the Donald J. Trump Banquet Hall. U.S. lawmakers and outside experts have demanded disclosure of private donors and some warned the donations could potentially affect policy decisions or federal contract awards.
