Joel Kaplan, Meta’s Global Policy Chief, to Leave After 15 Years

Joel Kaplan **leaves** Meta after 15 years. He works as the Global Policy Chief. This means he helps Meta talk to leaders and countries around the world. Mr. Kaplan has strong ties with Republicans, a political group in the US. He was an **important** helper for President George W. Bush before.

Because of his connections, he helps Meta build good relationships. He especially helped Meta work with the Trump administration, a past US **government**. Now, he is leaving his big job at Meta. This is a big change for the company. Meta will need to find a new person to do this important work.

His departure means Meta will get a new leader for its global talks. This person will help Meta follow rules and talk to politicians. Mr. Kaplan's work was key for Meta in Washington D.C. and other places. Now, Meta looks for a new way forward.
