The National Retail Federation (NRF) has commended President Donald Trump for bringing together some of the most successful business leaders in the world to seek their perspective on how businesses and consumers are being impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. NRF chief executive officer Matthew Shay is part of the group of business leaders.

“We....look forward to continuing our collaboration with the Administration, Congressional and state leaders, and the professional medical community to reopen our economy and put America back to work,” Shay said in a statement responding to the April 14 announcement by Trump that several business executives, economists, scholars and industry leaders will form various Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups.

These bipartisan groups of American leaders will work together with the White House to chart the path forward toward a future of unparalleled American prosperity. These groups will produce a more independent, self-sufficient and resilient Nation, the White House said in a press release.

“We will work together to ensure these issues are addressed and to determine a sensible and safe path forward for getting the country back to business,” Shay added.

Trump yesterday said that data suggested the country had passed the peak on the new coronavirus infections, and said he would announce ‘new guidelines’ for reopening the economy at a news conference today.
