Donald Trump has summoned some of Wall Street’s biggest names including JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon and billionaire Bill Ackman to a White House dinner as the administration faces pressure over US economic performance.
BlackRock chief Larry Fink, Morgan Stanley’s Ted Pick, Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon, Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman and KKR co-founder Henry Kravis were among more than a dozen finance executives attending the dinner on Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter.
It comes two months after Trump held a similar gathering of leaders at US tech companies including Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Apple’s Tim Cook focused on artificial intelligence investments in the country.
