President-elect Trump has been holding secret talks with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon about the economic agenda for his second term, according to a new report.
President-elect Trump and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon have been holding secret talks over the policy agenda for Trump's second term in the White House, FOX Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino reported Friday. Citing four sources close to Trump's transition team, Dimon has served as a "sounding board" for the president-elect for months on issues such as reducing government spending, tax policy, trade and banking regulations.
The report comes two weeks after Trump announced on social media that Dimon, a billionaire who runs the nation's largest bank, would not be serving in his upcoming administration, ending speculation that Dimon could potentially be picked to serve as Treasury secretary. "I respect Jamie Dimon, of JPMorgan Chase, greatly, but he will not be invited to be a part of the Trump Administration," Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.
Trump has been critical of Dimon in the past, most recently last year, when he referred to the JPMorgan boss as a "Highly overrated Globalist" on his Truth Social platform. Over the summer, Trump told Bloomberg he would consider Dimon to serve as Treasury secretary if he wins a second term in the White House, before walking back those comments a week later. Dimon condemned the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S.
