Trump, Messi to speak at star-studded Miami business conference

Driving the news: The America Business Forum announced Wednesday that Trump would speak at its first-ever U.S. conference in Miami on Nov. 5.

He will join Messi, Smith, Nadal and other big names — many of whom are conducting business in Miami.

Other speakers include

💰 Ken Griffin, CEO of Citadel, which relocated to Miami in 2022.

• Griffin, the billionaire investor, has donated over $100 million to health-related and educational initiatives in South Florida, including $50 million to help bring a New York charter school to the region.

⚽️ Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, which is playing World Cup matches at Hard Rock Stadium in 2026 — with the help of local government subsidies.

🏎️ Stefano Domenicali, CEO of Formula 1, which hosts the annual Miami Grand Prix at Hard Rock.

• The Miami GP, which was recently extended to 2041, is the longest contracted race in F1.

🏗️ Adam Neumann, founder of WeWork and Flow, the latter of which is developing a real estate project in Brickell.

💸 Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase.

What they're saying: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who is board president for the America Business Forum, has previously said the conference will bring "groundbreaking conversations to Miami."

• "We are proud to welcome world-class leaders to Miami for this historic event and look forward to conversations that will shape the future."

Flashback: Trump, who will host the G20 summit at his Doral golf resort in 2026, has visited the Kaseya Center before.

In a statement Wednesday, Suarez called Trump "one of the most consequential political and business leaders of our time."

• "His perspective on leadership, global business, and America's role in the world will be a defining part of this year's Forum."
• "We are honored to welcome him to Miami."
