CEOs from Nvidia, J&J and Eli Lilly to join Trump's "Invest in America" event at White House

President Trump will host on Wednesday top executives from companies including Nvidia, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly, GE Aerospace and SoftBank, as promotes investment in the U.S., per the White House.Why it matters: The White House regards investment policy as "critical" to U.S. national and economic security, but Axios' Courtenay Brown and Neil Irwin report Trump's tariffs threats have left the country's status as the top global investment magnet in doubt as businesses hit pause.Driving the news: Trump will host CEOs and industry leaders who've committed to investing at the U.S. at the "Invest in America" event, Bloomberg first reported.The event is designed to attract more investors as it highlights investments so far, a White House official said.Zoom in: Among these investment pledges are the United Arab Emirates' commitment to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the U.S.Trump announced soon after taking office commitments from OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle and the UAE's MGX to invest in AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the U.S.Johnson & Johnson has pledged to spend $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years on manufacturing, research and technology investments.And Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. said it will invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. chips production.What they're saying: "President Trump has secured more investments in the United States of America in 100 days than Joe Biden did in four years," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in an emailed statement Monday evening."President Trump is America's businessman in chief and that's why more than $5.3 trillion dollars have flooded our country bringing new jobs and investments to middle-class communities from coast to coast."Zoom out: The Trump administration has said tariffs will encourage domestic production and investment.However, retailers have warned U.S. imports could drop by at least 20% in the second half of 2025 if higher tariffs remain in place and they've expressed concern that there could be shortages if this happens.Trump has in recent days softened his tone on tariffs and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said U.S. and China are talking on key economic matters, despite Beijing saying otherwise as the two nations face off in a trade war.More from Axios:How tariffs can cause a recession Tariffs imperil America's status as world investment magnetTrump ready to bail out farmers amid trade war squeeze, Rollins says
