President-Elect Donald Trump’s advisers are considering JPMorgan Chase & Co Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon for treasury secretary, CNBC reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Dimon isn’t interested, one of the people told CNBC.
The JPMorgan CEO said Wednesday that Trump’s surprise victory and the UK’s vote to leave the European Union are signs of frustration with a lack of economic opportunity that shouldn’t be ignored.
Dimon, 60, was one of the few Wall Street leaders to indicate a presidential preference when he said last month while discussing his hopes for the next president that “she reaches across the aisle.”
