"This forum brings together CEOs and business leaders who know what it takes to create jobs and drive economic growth,” said President-elect Trump in a press release from Blackstone.

"My Administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland," Trump said in the press release.
