Trump denies mulling Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink for Treasury secretary

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied that he was considering JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink to serve as Treasury secretary.

"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," he posted on Truth Social.

Bloomberg News reported this month that Trump had told the outlet he "would consider" Dimon for the post during an interview. The article made no mention of Fink.

Trump had previously referred to Dimon as a "globalist," making the reported about-face a surprising development. But Dimon, for his part, had previously expressed interest in a government post, saying in 2023 that "it's crossed my mind because people mention things to you and stuff like that. I love my country and maybe one day I'll serve my country in one capacity or another, but I love what I do."

Steve Mnuchin served as Trump's Treasury secretary during his first term and was one of the few high-ranking Cabinet appointees to serve through the end of his term.
