WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) - CEOs and senior executives from Nvidia NVDA.O, Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N, Hyundai Motor 005380.KS, Toyota Motor 7203.T, and SoftBank Group 9984.T are among the more than two-dozen business leaders slated to visit the White House on Wednesday for an event highlighting U.S. investments, officials told Reuters.
President Donald Trump plans to promote a broad range of investments in the United States in defense, tech, healthcare and consumer products industries and investment funds marking his first 100 days in office at an "Investing in America" event, a White House official told Reuters.
Trump is seeking to encourage U.S. and foreign companies to expand manufacturing in the United States, while he has sparked a global trade war, imposing tariffs on a wide range of countries. Airlines, aerospace firms, automakers and retailers have expressed worries about the impact of tariffs on U.S. manufacturing and sales.
The White House touted investment commitments from Taiwan chipmaker TSMC 2330.TW, Apple AAPL.O, and Roche saying they "demonstrate resounding confidence in the U.S. economy and dollar under this administration."
Some major companies have said they want more details on trade and other government regulations before committing to new investments. Trump has said General Motors GM.N is considering a new $60 billion investment in the United States.
"I need clarity, and then I need consistency," GM CEO Mary Barra said at a Semafor forum last week. "To make those investments and to be good stewards of our owner’s capital, I need to understand what the policy is."
Trump has said he is considering granting automakers some relief from new auto tariffs.
In January, he announced a private-sector investment of up to $500 billion to fund infrastructure for artificial intelligence, aiming to outpace rival nations in the business-critical technology. That is expected to include ChatGPT's creator OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle ORCL.N.
Last month, South Korea's Hyundai 005380.KS announced a $21 billion investment in the U.S. at the White House, including a new $5.8 billion Hyundai Steel 004020.KS plant in Louisiana that will produce over 2.7 million metric tons of steel annually, creating more than 1,400 jobs.
