Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has refuted claims that he had contemplated appointing JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon or BlackRock’s chairman and CEO Larry Fink as U.S. Treasury secretary. In a post on Truth Social, Trump asserted, “I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury and I don’t know who said it or where it came from, perhaps the Radical Left.”
Donald Trump Denies Considering Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Treasury Secretary
This statement comes amidst ongoing speculation about potential members of Trump’s cabinet if he were to win the presidency. Trump’s clarification aims to dispel rumors surrounding the selection of high-profile financial figures for the Treasury position.
The denial follows conflicting reports on whether Trump had considered Dimon and Fink for the role. FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett noted that Jamie Dimon was a strong candidate, while others believed Trump favored Larry Fink due to their business connections.
As the speculation continues, Trump’s team remains ambiguous about potential candidates for key positions in a future administration, leaving room for further debate and conjecture.
