Silicon Valley executives apparently leaned on Donald Trump to call off a “surge” of federal troops in San Francisco on Thursday. The president said in a social media post that “friends of mine who live in the area called last night to ask me not to go forward with the surge”. He specifically mentioned the Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, and Salesforce CEO, Marc Benioff.
“The people of San Francisco have come together on fighting Crime, especially since we began to take charge of that very nasty subject,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, the social media network he owns. “Great people like Jensen Huang, Marc Benioff, and others have called saying that the future of San Francisco is great. They want to give it a ‘shot.’ Therefore, we will not surge San Francisco on Saturday.”
