Staff Reports
Former President Donald Trump has been invited to speak at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting in Washington, where he will have the chance to address some of the nation’s most influential corporate leaders. The meeting, which will take place on June 13, offers Trump an opportunity to discuss his plans for economic issues and policy with the CEOs of over 200 major U.S. companies.
As President Joe Biden will be attending a Group of 7 summit overseas, White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients will address the CEOs in Biden’s absence. For Trump, who is actively campaigning for a return to the White House, the meeting is a chance to showcase his economic achievements during his previous term and present his plans for stimulating economic growth once again.

The former president’s campaign emphasized his record on the economy, citing achievements such as record-low unemployment rates for minority groups and the creation of manufacturing and construction jobs. The campaign also expressed Trump’s commitment to restoring prosperity to the American economy, attributing the accomplishments to his “America First” policies.
Supporters of Trump believe that his pro-business policies could bring about significant changes for small businesses if he were to return to the presidency. They anticipate that Trump’s priorities would include extending or making permanent certain tax cut provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as well as providing regulatory relief for businesses by appointing new leaders to federal agencies.
Additionally, Trump’s proposed tariffs on countries like China and potential limitations on foreign competition could benefit domestic raw material producers. Ultimately, supporters expect that under a Trump administration, small businesses would have more room to grow and thrive without being hindered by bureaucratic overreach.
In conclusion, Trump’s scheduled appearance at the Business Roundtable’s meeting has sparked discussions about the potential impact of his economic policies on businesses and the overall economy if he were to return to the White House.
