WASHINGTON — CEOs from some of the nation's top businesses are flocking to the United Kingdom for a reception the British government is putting on for President Donald Trump state visit.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host Trump and top executives from Fortune 500 companies at his official country residence on Sept. 18.

The list of CEOs expected to attend ranges from tech leaders to money managers and includes Apple's Tim Cook, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang, Blackstone's Stephen Schwarzman, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Citigroup's Jane Fraser, BlackRock's Larry Fink, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Amazon's Andy Jassy, Lockheed Martin's Jim Taiclet, Nucor Steel's Leon Topalian, Saleforce's Marc Benioff and Bank of America's Brian Moynihan.

More than two dozen business leaders are expected to attend the reception at Chequers, according to a British government official familiar with the invitations. Palantir Technology CEO Alex Karp and Alphabet's Ruth Porat are also among the notable attendees.

Several of the tech leaders attended a dinner Trump hosted at the White House earlier this month. Cook, Altman and Huang have been repeat guests.

Trump is on a state visit to the UK that formally kicked off on Sept. 17 with horse-drawn carriage ride to Windsor Castle and an audience with King Charles and Queen Camilla. The king and queen will fete the U.S. president and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, at a banquet in evening.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and special envoy Steve Witkoff — a longtime real-estate developer leading many of Trump's peace efforts — are among the U.S. officials traveling with Trump.

During the visit, the United States and the United Kingdom announced a new partnership that focuses on the joint development of AI, quantum, and nuclear technologies. The Trump administration announced a plan in July to increase AI exports to American allies.
