(NBC News) — Former President Donald Trump met privately over breakfast with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday, according to six sources familiar.

The meeting was described as “nice” and “friendly” by one of the sources, who added that DeSantis plans to help raise money for Trump. A separate source said that the meeting was mutually agreed upon and arranged by Steven Witkoff, the chairman of a real estate company, a mutual contact of the two men.

However, a Trump campaign official told NBC News that DeSantis reached out to Trump’s team through Witkoff two weeks ago to set up a meeting to “bury the hatchet” and discuss fundraising.

The meeting, which was first reported by The Washington Post, took place in Florida. The governor was golfing at Shell Bay Club, a golf club near Miami where the former president joined him for breakfast.
