Here’s Who Donald Trump May Pick As His Treasury Secretary

President Donald Trump is considering appointing JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon as his U.S. Treasury Secretary.

During a meeting with top U.S. executives last month, Trump said he would consider Jamie Dimon for the position of Treasury Secretary.

Trump told the executives, “I have a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon.”

Earlier this year, Dimon received backlash from the Biden administration after saying Donald Trump was “kind of right” about his tax reform, immigration, and China policies.

Jamie Dimon is spot on here…

“I don't like how Trump said things, but he wasn't wrong about those critical issues. That's why they vote for him. People should be more respectful of our fellow citizens.”

After a meeting with top U.S. executives last month, the Republican presidential candidate said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek published Tuesday that he would consider Dimon for the cabinet position.

“I have a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon,” Trump said.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, whom Trump threatened to fire during his first term, also seems to have some job security. If elected, Trump said he would allow Powell to complete his four-year term as chair, which is set to end in May 2026.

Per Fox Business:

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.”

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.
