President Trump entered the Roosevelt Room at 3:02pm. As tech leaders stood by the podium across from press, waiting for Trump, one joked: “Are you guys hot over there?” SEC Chairman Paul Atkins asked if anyone can dance.
There is no service inside the Roosevelt Room, so apologies if these pool reports are delayed.
Trump is speaking at the podium and his remarks are livestreamed.
