WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s chief of staff has argued to an influential group of CEOs that the Democratic incumbent’s emphasis on global alliances would help their businesses.

Both Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, and Jeffrey Zients met behind closed doors Thursday with the Business Roundtable in Washington.

Neither side commented publicly on what was said in the meeting, which comes as Biden and Trump head toward a 2020 rematch with sharply different views on taxes and the economy.
