US aerospace giant Boeing has told BBC News it will donate $1 million (£812,600) to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund.

Google also confirmed it had made similar donations as the two companies join a growing list of major U.S. companies donating to the fund.

The list also includes oil producer Chevron and technology giants Meta, Amazon and Uber.

Trump’s inauguration is scheduled for January 20, marking the beginning of his second term in the White House.

“We are pleased to continue Boeing’s bipartisan tradition of supporting the Presidential Inaugural Committee,” Boeing said.

The company added that it has made similar contributions to each of the past three presidential inaugural funds.

Boeing is struggling to recover from a safety and quality control crisis and dealing with the damage from last year’s strike.

The company is also building the next generation presidential plane, Air Force One. The two aircraft are expected to enter service as early as next year.

During his first term as president, Trump forced the planemaker to renegotiate contracts, saying the original deal was too costly.

Google becomes the latest major tech company to donate to the fund, following similar announcements from Meta and Amazon. It also said it would broadcast the event live around the world.

“Google is excited to support the 2025 Inauguration with a livestream on YouTube and a direct link from our homepage,” said Karan Bhatia, Google’s head of global government affairs and public policy.

Ford Motor Co., General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Co. also donated $1 million each to the inaugural committee.

In the energy industry, Chevron confirmed it had contributed to the fund but declined to disclose the amount.

“Chevron has a long tradition of celebrating democracy by supporting bipartisan inaugural committees. We are proud to do so again this year,” said Bill Turene, global media relations manager for Chevron.
