Retail CEOs meet with Trump

The CEOs of Gap, Best Buy, Target Corp., J.C. Penney and several other national retailers met with President Trump on Wednesday to discuss tax reform and to make their case against the so-called border tax adjustment.



Brian Cornell, CEO of Target, said in a statement released after the meeting that the group had a "positive and substantive discussion" about economic policy,’ reported the Chicago Tribune. He described the border tax as a "priority issue for Target."



"If enacted, the House proposal would have profound implications for our guests and business, and at Target, we believe that anything that raises prices for families is not a good idea for America," Cornell said.



Chief executives from Auto Zone, Tractor Supply Co., Walgreens Boots Alliance and Jo-Ann Stores were also at the meeting.
