Not even with a smile", leaving Zuckerberg baffled and speechless once again, reports Minneapolis Star Tribune.Zuckerberg did offer some details about his meeting with President Trump in September, saying antitrust probe did not come up during the talks at the Oval Office."I don't think so, but the meeting was private, overall. Those subjects didn't come up, but in general I don't feel like it's appropriate for me to comment in too much detail on private conversations," he told the House hearing.Zuckerberg met President Trump in the Oval Office. "Nice meeting with Mark Zuckerberg of @Facebook in the Oval Office today," tweeted Trump.Facebook CEO testified before House and Senate committees in April last year over Cambridge Analytica data scandal affecting 87 million users globally.( With inputs from IANS )
