Senior executives from major corporations, including Nvidia, Johnson & Johnson, and Toyota, will gather at the White House as President Donald Trump spotlights U.S. investments. This meeting, as reported by officials to Reuters, underscores the administration's focus on revitalizing industries such as defense, technology, healthcare, and consumer products.

Amidst concerns over new tariffs, Trump is keen on showcasing investments from leading U.S. businesses like General Motors, which is contemplating a $60 billion investment. Industry giants seek clarity on trade policies before committing to new ventures, as expressed by GM CEO Mary Barra.

In a strategic push, Trump announced a $500 billion private-sector investment in AI infrastructure.
