Donald Trump says he has never discussed or thought of Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for US Treasury Secretary

Former President Donald Trump said in a recent interview that he would consider nominating JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon as Treasury Secretary. However, on Tuesday, he denied making such a statement, claiming he doesn’t know who said it or where it came from.

In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek published earlier this month, Trump stated, “I have a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon.” When asked if Dimon might be a future Trump administration Treasury secretary, Trump responded, “He is somebody that I would consider, sure,” according to the transcript posted online by Bloomberg.

But on Tuesday, Trump posted on Truth Social, “I don’t know who said it, or where it came from, perhaps the Radical Left, but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury.”

Trump didn’t mention considering Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, in the Bloomberg interview.

Trump’s comments about Dimon in the Bloomberg interview were a sharp departure from his previous stance on the JPMorgan chief executive. In November, Trump criticized Dimon as a “Highly overrated Globalist” in a Truth Social post after Dimon praised Nikki Haley, who was then still running for president in the GOP primary. However, earlier this year, Dimon stated he thought Trump was right about key issues and that criticizing the “Make America Great Again” movement would harm President Joe Biden.
