Former US President Donald Trump denied considering JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon as his treasury secretary and said he had not considered BlackRock's Larry Fink as a candidate for the position.
On the Truth Social platform, Trump posted, "I don't know who said this or where it came from, maybe the radical left, but I never discussed or considered Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink as Treasury Secretary."
Trump had previously mentioned Dimon as a potential member of his cabinet. In an interview on June 25th, Trump talked about meeting several CEOs of large companies at a Business Roundtable event.

Trump said, "We had a great meeting. Jamie Dimon was there. I have tremendous respect for Jamie Dimon."
When asked if Dimon could be Trump's future treasury secretary, Trump said he was someone he would consider.
Fink's name appeared in newspaper columns, saying that Trump "is still seeking Fink's views on the economy" despite their political incompatibility.
