Donald Trump huddled with at least 80 CEOs on Thursday in Washington with a clear pitch to them: If he is elected president again in November, the CEOs are going to see tax cuts and a curtailment of business regulations.

Trump said that if he is in the White House he will cut taxes, including income taxes, and bring back the economic policies he enacted during his first term, according to people familiar with the meeting.

Trump also mentioned to the CEOs a recent proposal he rolled out in Nevada, to eliminate taxes on workers’ tips. Trump then told them a story about how excited tipped workers were about his proposal, prompting laughter from the corporate leaders, according to multiple sources.

Trump spoke for about an hour at the Business Roundtable’s quarterly meeting. The audience included Apple CEO Tim Cook, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.

President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, Jeff Zients, addressed the group earlier in the day, a source said.
