To meet or to meet with?

Is it correct to say "I will meet him tomorrow" or "I will meet with him tomorrow"?. Basically my question is when using the word 'meet' does the word 'with' need to follow?

Thank you.

I do not have an accurate answer for this, but I have "google-ed" and found an answer. hope it's useful

" I will meet you or I'll meet you, could mean all kinds of things. It could mean that we're going to have a meeting, and we're going to do some work together; but it could simply mean that's where we're going to see each other, and we're going to go and do something else afterwards.

In American English. In the English of England, no because the with is unnecessary. It is wordy.

"To meet" is a transative verb and there is therefore no need to add "with" in normal English when adding the predicate part of the sentence. The exception arises in the idiomatic use of the verb in such phrases as "to meet with triumph or disaster". The other exception is the Americanised form which routinely adds "with" and which now seems to have been adopted by the majority in the UK inclu
