Trump Meets Corporate America As Economic Fears Nip Stocks

US President Donald Trump will meet the CEOs of Americas 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 US companies from Apple to JPMorgan Chase and Walmart.

Trump met with technology company executives at the White House on Monday. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon also plan to attend, according to three sources.

They declined to be identified because the information is not public.

Trumps 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.
