President Trump said that "we should be suing Google and Facebook," adding "perhaps we will," during an interview with Fox Business on Wednesday.

What's next: The Trump administration plans to host a Social Media Summit on July 11, according to a White House spokesperson.

  • Last year, however, the administration indicated it would convene a meeting of tech leaders that never happened.
