Jamie Dimon Says He'd Consider Treasury Secretary Role Now; His 2024 Trump Snub Response Was Priceless

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM), said he would consider serving as Treasury Secretary today, after former President Donald Trump ruled him out for the role in 2024. Back then, Dimon responded with a lighthearted remark: 'I haven't had a boss for 25 years.'

Details of the Statement

In a recent interview, Dimon stated he would look at an offer to become Treasury Secretary if made today, calling it a great honor to serve the country. He did not confirm whether any formal offer has been made.

The 2024 Priceless Response

After Trump's 2024 election win, the then-president-elect ruled out Dimon for Treasury Secretary. When asked about it at the APEC CEO Summit in Peru, Dimon quipped: "I wish the president well and thank you, it's a very nice note, but I just want to tell the President also I haven't had a boss for 25 years and I'm not about ready to start."

Context

Dimon, who runs the largest U.S. bank by assets, is a influential voice on Wall Street. His comments about government roles often draw market attention due to his deep financial expertise.

What This Means for Investors

Dimon's remarks have no immediate impact on JPMorgan's stock (JPM), but they signal a potential move to public service, which could raise succession questions at the bank.
