Bill Gates on Trump and Global Issues

Recent news involves Bill Gates in two significant contexts. First, despite his earlier support for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, where he reportedly donated $50 million to a nonprofit supporting her campaign, Gates has now congratulated Donald Trump on his presidential victory. In a message on the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), Gates expressed hope for collaboration with Trump's administration to drive innovation and improve lives globally[2].

Gates' donation to support Harris was noted in a New York Times report, highlighting his concern over Trump's economic policies and potential cuts to family planning and global health programs[1].

Additionally, Bill Gates has been vocal about broader global issues, including the potential for a major war and another pandemic within the next 25 years. He has criticized the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and emphasized the need for better preparedness for future health crises[4][5].
