Dec 12 (Reuters) - Amazon ( AMZN ) is donating $1

million to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inaugural fund

and the company will air the event on its Prime Video service,

an Amazon ( AMZN ) spokesperson said on Thursday.

The Prime Video represents an in-kind donation worth another

$1 million, the spokesperson said. The donations were first

reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Amazon ( AMZN ) joins another tech giant, Meta Platforms ( META ), in

donating to the Jan. 20 Trump inauguration. Meta will also give

$1 million, a company spokesperson said.

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's ( AMZN ) founder and executive chairman, will

meet with Trump next week, the president-elect said on Thursday

in an interview with CNBC.

Trump has criticized the coverage of his first term as

president by the Washington Post, which is owned by Bezos.

The Post decided not to endorse a candidate in the November

presidential election. The decision blocked an endorsement of

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, according to National Public

Radio.

Bezos defended the move not to issue an endorsement, saying

in an opinion piece in the paper that "most people believe the

media is biased" and the Post and other newspapers needed to

boost their credibility.

Trump raised a record $106.7 million for his 2017

inauguration festivities.
