Nov 11 (Reuters) -
U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to host a private
dinner at the White House on Wednesday with several top business
executives, including the chief executives of Nasdaq and
JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ), an administration official told Reuters.
The gathering underscores Trump's effort to deepen ties with
corporate leaders as his administration rolls out new
initiatives aimed at strengthening U.S. capital markets and
rebuilding critical domestic supply chains seen as vital to
national security.
JPMorgan ( JPM ), the nation's largest bank, has announced a
decade-long, $1.5 trillion investment program aimed at
industries central to U.S. national security and economic
resilience, including supply chain and manufacturing, defense
and aerospace, energy independence, and frontier technologies.
Under that plan, the bank will deploy up to $10 billion
through direct equity and venture-capital investments
specifically in U.S. companies critical to national security and
economic resilience.
A White House official confirmed that Trump was meeting with
financial leaders, but did not confirm a guest list.
CBS News was first to report the dinner.
Representatives for Nasdaq and JPMorgan ( JPM ) did not immediately
respond to requests for comment.
Trump has held a series of private meetings with business
leaders in recent months as his administration seeks to promote
economic growth while navigating tensions with global trading
partners.
His broader economic agenda centers on expanding domestic
production, reshoring key industries, and leveraging
private-sector investment to secure the United States' position
in high-tech manufacturing and energy supply chains.
