Jamie Dimon on US Growth and US-China Trade Tensions
What happened
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, spoke during trade talks in Hong Kong about the state of the US economy and US-China relations. He stated that slowing economic growth makes it more difficult to address major challenges facing both the United States and China. Dimon emphasized that stronger growth is the best solution for global issues, including trade disputes and international rivalries. He also noted that his primary concern is global peace, rather than markets or interest rates.
