Venture capitalist David Sacks, oil magnate Harold Hamm and former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss will be among the speakers at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, highlighting the support from business leaders and conservative politicians for Donald Trump in his rematch with President Joe Biden.

Hamm, the chair of Oklahoma-based oil driller Continental Resources Inc., has contributed $814,000 to Trump’s 2024 reelection bid. He is slated to speak at a policy symposium about US energy production on Wednesday, according to a copy of the schedule seen by Bloomberg. Spokespeople for Hamm did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
