White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out-of-town pool report 7: POTUS on stage
Roundtable is kicking off. POTUS entered at 4:59 pm to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA," as the crowd broke into a "USA" chant. Some attendees are singing along.
Treasury Sec Scott Bessent is also on the stage alongside others. Your pooler has asked for a full list of roundtable participants.
This is being live streamed at the link below, but I will continue to send highlights and color from the room.

White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - Out-of-town pool report 6: Venue color
The roundtable is set up on a stage in the hotel ballroom, with a massive "NO TAX ON TIPS" banner as the backdrop.
Your pooler estimates a few hundred are in the crowd, with red Make America Great Again hats scattered throughout. We have asked the White House for an official count for attendees. Sinéad O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" is currently playing over the loudspeaker.
