White House to host CEOs meet for workforce advisory

Last month, the White House said the chief executives of Apple Inc, Walmart Inc, IBM Corp, Lockheed Martin Corp, Siemens USA, Home Depot Inc, Visa Incand other major companies are joining a 25-member board, co-chaired by adviser Ivanka Trump and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

President Donald Trump is expected to attend part of the sessions, a White House official confirmed.

The meeting, set to last three hours, will be live-streamed.

A White House official was unable to confirm on Saturday a list of the CEOs who are attending but said most are expected to take part.
