United States President Donald Trump is set to host top executives from leading American retail companies to discuss the effects of his administration's tariff policy. According to CNBC, Trump has invited representatives from Walmart Inc., Target Corporation, The Home Depot Inc., and Lowe's Companies Inc. to the White House. Among the attendees will be Walmart CEO Doug McMillon.

The meeting will focus on the impact of recent trade decisions and how they are influencing the operations of major retailers. A source familiar with the matter noted that President Trump personally summoned the companies to better understand the real-world consequences of his tariff strategy on the retail industry.

While the exact date and time of the meeting have not yet been publicly disclosed, the gathering is expected to provide key insights into the economic ripple effects of the administration’s trade approach. Companies like Home Depot confirmed their participation, with a spokesperson stating that they “regularly meet with leaders at all levels of government on issues that impact our customers, associates and our business.”

The discussions are part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to engage directly with the private sector and assess the business community’s response to evolving economic policies. The inclusion of retail giants in these conversations highlights their central role in the national economy and their exposure to international supply chains affected by tariffs.

President Trump’s ongoing tariff initiatives have sparked debate across industries, with some applauding the focus on domestic manufacturing and others expressing concern about cost pressures and supply chain disruptions. The upcoming White House meeting may provide a clearer picture of how these policies are unfolding at the ground level.
