Dorsey told Trump that the president might be losing followers over Twitter's efforts to delete fake and automated accounts, a source told The Washington Post. Trump had nearly 60 million followers early Wednesday.

Trump has long claimed without evidence that the largest social-media services are politically biased against conservatives.

Earlier Tuesday, he tweeted that his follower count would be "much higher" than 100 million if Twitter "wasn't playing their political games." He added that Congress should intervene.

"They don't treat me well as a Republican," Trump said. "Very discriminatory."

Trump has also accused Silicon Valley's top players of spreading "hatred" against "a certain group of people that happen to be in power, that happen to have won the election."

In November, he tweeted that "Facebook, Twitter and Google are so biased toward the Dems it is ridiculous!"

Some critics believe the opposite, arguing that Trump should have been barred from Twitter over tweets they think would normally violate standards about harassment and abuse on the platform.

Twitter has said blocking world leaders like Trump would "not silence" them but "hamper necessary discussion around their words and actions."

It is now considering adding notes to high-profile tweets that it leaves up despite their violating its rules, a Twitter official said last month.

The White House has not commented on Trump's meeting with Dorsey or the president's latest accusations against tech giants.

A Twitter representative told Business Insider that Tuesday's meeting revolved around the social platform's "commitment to protecting the health of the public conversation ahead of the 2020 US elections." The pair also discussed ways to respond to the opioid crisis, Twitter said.
