Trump said that, "America has the most innovative and vibrant companies in the world, and the pioneering CEOs joining this forum today are at the top of their fields."

"My administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland," he said.

Nooyi was the supporter of Trump's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton during the presidential elections.

She said at a New York conference on November 10, that, "I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning. Our employees were all crying. The question that they are asking, especially those who are not white 'Are we safe', women are asking 'Are we safe', LGBT people are asking 'Are we safe'."
