June 27 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump prodded EchoStar Corp SATS.O and Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr earlier this month to reach an amicable deal over the fate of the company's wireless spectrum licenses, the company said in a filing on Friday.
Bloomberg News first reported that Trump met on June 12 with EchoStar Chairman Charlie Ergen and later called Carr to take part in the meeting. EchoStar has been trying to shield its cache of wireless spectrum licenses from the threat of revocation by the FCC.
EchoStar said in a filing on Friday that Trump "encouraged the parties involved to reach an amicable resolution."
