Trump to Host Private White House Dinner with Top Business Leaders Amid Economic and Security Push

U.S. President Donald Trump is set to host a private dinner at the White House on Wednesday with leading American business executives, including the chief executives of Nasdaq and JPMorgan Chase, according to a senior administration official cited by Reuters. The high-profile gathering reflects Trump’s continued effort to strengthen relationships with corporate leaders as his administration advances initiatives designed to boost U.S. capital markets and reinforce critical domestic supply chains deemed vital to national security.

JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank, recently announced a decade-long $1.5 trillion investment plan focused on industries central to America’s economic and strategic strength. The initiative targets sectors such as advanced manufacturing, defense, aerospace, energy independence, and frontier technologies. As part of the plan, the bank intends to deploy up to $10 billion in direct equity and venture-capital investments in U.S. companies crucial to national security and economic resilience.

A White House official confirmed that Trump would be meeting with financial and corporate leaders but declined to provide a full guest list. CBS News was the first to report the dinner, while representatives for Nasdaq and JPMorgan Chase did not immediately respond to media inquiries.

The dinner underscores the Trump administration’s broader economic strategy, which emphasizes expanding domestic production, reshoring key industries, and fostering private-sector partnerships to secure the United States’ dominance in high-tech manufacturing and energy supply chains. In recent months, Trump has convened several closed-door meetings with top executives to drive investment in U.S. industries and ensure long-term economic growth while balancing ongoing global trade challenges.
