NAS100 SELL LIVE TRADE EXACUTION 10K PROFITWASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump will meet the CEOs of America’s biggest companies on Tuesday, including many whose market value has dipped in recent days as recession and inflation fears soured consumer and investor sentiment.
The Republican president is expected to speak with around 100 CEOs at a regular meeting of the Business Roundtable in Washington, an influential group of CEOs leading major U.S. companies, which include Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Walmart (NYSE:WMT). Trump met with technology company executives at the White House on Monday.
Walmart CEO Doug McMillon will attend the meeting, the company said. Also planning to attend are JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup (NYSE:C) CEO Jane Fraser, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon and Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf, said four sources who declined to be identified because the information is not public.
A reception and dinner will follow the meeting, one of the sources said.
Trump’s economic policies so far have centered on a blitz of tariff announcements - some of which have taken effect and others delayed or set to kick in later - that he has said will correct unbalanced trade relations, bring jobs back to the country and stop the flow of illegal narcotics from abroad.
Markets have been spooked by the prospect that the policies could raise prices for businesses, boosting inflation, and undermine consumer confidence in a blow to economic growth.
U.S. stocks on Tuesday extended last week’s selloff that has dragged the benchmark S&P 500 down nearly 3% since Trump’s election in November last year and 4.5% underwater for the year overall. The dollar hit its highest level in a week against the Canadian dollar
