President Donald Trump is expected to host a private dinner at the White House Wednesday with top business executives, including JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon.

The gathering, which will also include the Nasdaq chief executive, underscores Trump's effort to deepen ties with corporate leaders as his administration rolls out new initiatives aimed at strengthening U.S. capital markets and rebuilding critical domestic supply chains seen as vital to national security.

JPMorgan, the nation's largest bank, has announced a decade-long, $1.5 trillion investment program aimed at industries central to U.S. national security and economic resilience, including supply chain and manufacturing, defense and aerospace, energy independence, and frontier technologies.

Under that plan, the bank will deploy up to $10 billion through direct equity and venture-capital investments specifically in U.S. companies critical to national security and economic resilience.

A White House official confirmed that Trump was meeting with financial leaders, but did not confirm a guest list.

CBS News was first to report the dinner.

Representatives for Nasdaq and JPMorgan did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Trump has held a series of private meetings with business leaders in recent months as his administration seeks to promote economic growth while navigating tensions with global trading partners.

His broader economic agenda centers on expanding domestic production, reshoring key industries, and leveraging private-sector investment to secure the United States' position in high-tech manufacturing and energy supply chains.
