... Carr's stated goals would appear to mark a major shift in the FCC's approach to broadcasters. Carr's predecessors, including outgoing Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel and Republican Ajit Pai, who served in the first Trump administration, both rejected Trump's calls to punish news networks for alleged bias.

Carr has instead embraced Trump's view that broadcasters should be punished for supposed anti-conservative bias.

The president-elect was speaking to reporters after announcing that SoftBank Group Corp. planned to invest $100 billion in the US following his meeting with Chief Executive Officer Masayoshi Son.

Trump has held a series of conversations with tech leaders at his Florida club Mar-a-Lago in recent weeks: a November dinner with Meta Platforms Inc.'s Mark Zuckerberg and meetings with Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple Inc.'s Tim Cook last week. Trump also said he plans to meet with the billionaire founder of Amazon.com Inc. Jeff Bezos this week.

"I had dinner with, sort of, almost all of them, and the rest are coming," Trump said, describing the outreach from the business community as "one of the big differences between the first term."

"In the first term everybody was fighting. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend," he said.
