Trump previously met with executives from the US pharmaceutical and auto industries as part of a push to step up US job creation. Tech companies, which have broad concerns about Trump's immigration plans, raised the sharpest outcry at the travel ban. On Friday, former General Electric Co leader Jack Welch said on his way into the White House that he expected immigration would come up. Boeing Co and General Electric on Thursday joined a group in support of a congressional plan to tax all imports. The White House meeting with the group, which also includes leaders of the Cleveland Clinic and IBM Corp, is set to cover tax and trade, regulatory relief and infrastructure.
