Trump could pick Jamie Dimon for Treasury secretary
Former president previously called JPMorgan CEO a 'highly overrated globalist'
By Breck Dumas FOXBusiness
Former President Trump is apparently open to the idea of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon serving in his Cabinet if he wins a second term in the White House.
"I have a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon," Trump told Bloomberg in an interview published Tuesday that was conducted last month. When asked whether Dimon could be his next Treasury secretary, Trump responded, "He is somebody that I would consider, sure."
JPMorgan declined to comment on the report.
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.
Dimon, like many other corporate executives, had condemned the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters who made an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 elections that Trump lost to Biden.
However, Dimon has recently praised some of Trump's positions and policies.
