The Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump, mentioned that he would “consider” JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon for Treasury secretary if he secures a second term in the White House. Trump discussed this during an extensive interview on his economic vision for the U.S. with Bloomberg Businessweek.
Various sources, including Axios, reported on excerpts from the interview where Trump acknowledged Dimon’s interest in supporting the likely winner of the 2024 U.S. presidential race.
According to Axios, Trump stated, “Whoever’s leading gets all the support they want. I could have the personality of a shrimp, and everybody would come.”

Trump also mentioned that he would allow current U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to complete his term at the central bank. Additionally, he expressed strong support for the inclusion of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin in a potential second Trump administration. Gov. Youngkin has previous experience with the Carlyle Group, a prominent global investment firm.
In a statement made in April, Dimon voiced his continued optimism about the U.S. economy, despite ongoing concerns about a looming recession. He highlighted worries over geopolitical conflicts and political divisions in the United States.
