Jack Ma, the billionaire founder and executive chairman of the Alibaba Group (BABA, Tech30), met with Trump on Monday to tease plans for creating "one million" jobs in the U.S. through the company's e-commerce platform. "We had a great meeting." Trump told reporters. "[Ma is] a great, great entrepreneur, one of the best in the world. He loves this country and he loves China." Since Alibaba's initial public offering in September 2014, which raised $25 billion in total, the e-commerce giant has been seeking channels for U.S. expansion.
