Trump quashes reports on Jamie Dimon and Larry Fink as his Treasury Secretary

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has quashed reports suggesting he may consider appointing JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink as Secretary of the Treasury if reelected.

In a July 23 post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said neither Dimon nor Fink were part of his plans for a potential cabinet if he were victorious in November. He seemed to contradict an exclusive report released on July 16 by Bloomberg Businessweek, whose team sat down with Trump in June.

“I don’t know who said it, or where it came from [...] but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury,” said Trump.

Bloomberg reported that Trump had said he would consider Dimon as secretary of the Department of the Treasury. On July 20, the New York Post — a publication that Trump reportedly prefers before other news outlets — reported that the Republican nominee was considering Fink for the same position.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
