The airline giant has donated $1 million to each of the past three presidential inaugural committees, the company said.
Also Thursday, Chevron acknowledged the donation but did not disclose the amount.
“Chevron has a long tradition of celebrating democracy by supporting inaugural committees of both parties, and we are proud to do so again this year,” said Bill Turenne, Chevron Global Media Relations Manager. Ta.
The company joins a number of other companies, including Meta, Amazon and Uber, that have donated to Trump's inaugural fund ahead of his January 20 inauguration. Toyota and Ford are also contributing $1 million each to the fund.
In addition to contributing financially to the fund, executives including Google's Sundar Pinchay and Amazon's Jeff Bezos met with the next commander-in-chief at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida mansion.
The meeting with the donation signals a change for some companies as they seek to strengthen ties with the president-elect, who is set to take the Oval Office later this month.
