High-profile business leaders and the U. S. President recently sat down to discuss some serious money matters. The chat covered everything from the rising cost of living to making it easier for people to buy homes. Big names like Jamie Dimon from JPMorgan Chase and Adena Friedman from Nasdaq were there, along with others from major companies.

The meeting happened after some recent elections showed that people are really worried about how much things cost. The current administration has been pointing fingers at previous policies, saying they're to blame for the price hikes. But economists argue that things like high import taxes have also played a big role.

Mortgages and making life more affordable have been big topics lately. The government has been working to keep long-term interest rates down, which helps with things like home loans and car payments. The Treasury Secretary even said that lower rates mean better deals for everyone.

While the details of all the discussions aren't public, there were talks about changing some market rules. For example, Nasdaq's CEO has suggested letting companies report their finances either every three months or every six months. This is something the President has supported.

This wasn't the first time the President has met with business bigwigs. It's all part of an effort to boost the economy while dealing with international trade tensions. The goal is to find ways to grow the economy without causing too many problems with other countries.
