Jamie Dimon hasn’t had recent talks with Trump, source says

Friday report on New York PostWhich said that the two had been in contact for months through secret back channels, which was inaccurate, according to the source.

Trump’s transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sources close to Trump told… mail The talks began before the election and continued afterward, focusing on plans to cut spending, banking regulations, taxes and trade.

Earlier this month, Trump ruled out Dimon’s role in his administration amid speculation that the Wall Street giant might be a candidate for Treasury secretary.

“I respect JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon very much, but he will not be invited to be part of the Trump administration. I thank Jamie for his outstanding service to our country!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on November 14.

During a conference later that day, Dimon responded that he had no interest in serving in the Trump administration, saying, “I haven’t had a president in 25 years and I’m not ready to start.”

This came a month after Trump’s Truth Social account posted a screenshot falsely claiming that Damon was endorsing him for president, prompting… JP Morgan categorically denies this. Trump later said he knew nothing about the post, explaining that someone else had posted it.

Damon did not endorse Trump or Kamala Harris in the presidential election, although his wife campaigned for Harris.

However, supporters of the president-elect pointed out some positive statements from Dimon, e.g Praise him in JanuaryWhen he said Trump was “kind of right on NATO, kind of right on immigration. The economy grew well. Trade tax reform worked. He was right on some of China.”

Damon also said earlier this month that Trump is not against tradeAdding that his tariff plans “will push people to the negotiating table.”
