Washington: US President Donald Trump will meet on Thursday with the makers of "Grand Theft Auto" and "Doom" to discuss what the President believes is a link between video games and violent acts like last month's school shooting in Florida.

It is the latest in a series of free-wheeling sessions Trump has held to talk about how to stop mass shootings at schools, but the White House has not yet made clear the full range of actions Trump supports to address gun violence.

Trump has made the issue personal, taking the unusual step of mentioning his concern for his 11-year-old son, Barron. "I look at some of the things he's watching, and I say, how is that possible?" he said last week.

Trump, elected on a Republican ticket, has talked about the need to examine how violence in media affects children, after a 19-year-old gunman was accused of killing 17 people at a high school in Parkland, Florida and injuring more than a dozen others.

Dan Hewitt, a spokesman for the Entertainment Software Association, a lobby group whose chief executive will attend the White House meeting, said studies have established no connection between video games and violent conduct.
