Jamie Dimon on Iran, Trump and why he’s optimistic about AI | NPR’s Newsmakers
7/04/202632 minIn this bonus episode of <em>Up First</em>, we’re sharing the latest episode of <em>NPR’s</em> <em>Newsmakers</em>, featuring Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase, the nation’s largest bank. JPMorgan has a stake in almost everything. But unlike many CEOs, Dimon says it’s his job to speak out on many things. <br/><br/>This week, Dimon released his annual letter to shareholders — a document that comments on banking issues and also assesses risks to the economy, from inflation to the war in Iran. The letter asserts his company is ready for anything — noting, among other things, that it has profited during economic booms and also during recessions. <br/><br/>In this episode of <em>NPR’s Newsmakers</em>, Dimon tells host Steve Inskeep he didn’t worry much about the way President Trump’s contradictory statements tend to send financial markets sliding and soaring again, saying, “I have to deal with the world I got.” <br/><br/><em>NPR's Newsmakers</em> is where you'll find NPR's biggest interviews.
