U.S. President Donald Trump will host a private dinner at the White House on Wednesday with top Wall Street executives, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and the Nasdaq chief executive, as part of a renewed push to deepen ties with corporate leaders and strengthen domestic economic resilience, according to an administration official who spoke with Reuters.

The high-level gathering underscores Trump’s strategy of aligning private-sector investment with national security goals, a central theme of his administration’s evolving economic agenda. It also reflects an effort to solidify cooperation with the financial industry as the White House moves forward with capital market reforms and supply-chain realignment aimed at boosting U.S. competitiveness.

Strengthening Ties Between Wall Street and Washington

Trump’s engagement with leading financial figures marks a shift toward closer collaboration between government and industry at a time of heightened global uncertainty. Administration officials said the meeting will focus on how large financial institutions can support national priorities, including infrastructure development, energy independence, and advanced manufacturing.

“President Trump has made it clear that America’s economic leadership must rest on both financial strength and industrial capacity,” said one senior administration aide familiar with the dinner’s agenda. “This is about leveraging private capital to secure America’s long-term resilience.”

The guest list has not been officially confirmed, but sources said attendees will include executives from major investment banks, asset managers, and exchanges, reflecting the administration’s interest in mobilizing capital from across the financial ecosystem.

JPMorgan’s $1.5 Trillion Investment Plan

At the center of the discussion is JPMorgan Chase’s recently announced $1.5 trillion investment initiative, a decade-long commitment targeting sectors critical to U.S. national security and economic independence.

The bank plans to deploy up to $10 billion through direct equity and venture capital investments into companies involved in defense, aerospace, clean energy, and frontier technologies, including semiconductors and AI-driven industrial solutions.

JPMorgan’s program aligns closely with Trump’s goal of reshoring strategic industries and rebuilding domestic supply chains disrupted by decades of offshoring and the recent global trade tensions. The initiative also mirrors a growing policy trend in Washington — viewing economic strength as a key component of national defense.

“Capital markets are not just about returns anymore,” said a senior JPMorgan strategist. “They’re about securing America’s future industrial and technological base.”

A Broader Economic and Political Context

The dinner follows a series of closed-door sessions between Trump and U.S. business leaders, part of his administration’s campaign to sustain economic momentum while addressing inflationary pressures and trade frictions with major partners, including China and the European Union.

Trump has repeatedly emphasized the importance of reshoring production and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers in critical sectors such as microchips, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy. By courting major financial players, the administration hopes to mobilize private investment to complement federal initiatives, thereby creating what officials describe as “a whole-of-economy approach to national resilience.”

This outreach also comes as Wall Street adjusts to volatile markets and a shifting interest-rate landscape, with firms rebalancing portfolios toward long-term, strategic investments that align with federal incentives such as the One Big Beautiful Bill’s manufacturing provisions.

Looking Ahead

While Wednesday’s dinner is billed as informal, policy analysts say it could lay the groundwork for deeper public-private collaboration ahead of 2026, when the administration plans to launch new infrastructure and industrial financing programs.

“Bringing in Dimon and other financial leaders signals Trump’s intent to link Wall Street’s capital flows directly with his domestic growth strategy,” said Alexandra Hermann of Oxford Economics. “It’s both economic coordination and political messaging — showing that American finance and manufacturing are marching in the same direction.”

With the White House’s focus shifting from stabilization to strategic investment, industry observers expect continued engagement between top financiers and administration officials in the months ahead — setting the stage for a new era of cooperation between Washington and Wall Street.
