Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. President-elect Trump is in secret talks with JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, raising speculation that JPMorgan may leverage its power to influence U.S. policy. Reports suggest that for months, Trump has been seeking Dimon's insights to help guide his second-term agenda. According to Fox Business, Dimon has provided informal advice on issues such as tax reform, trade policy, and federal spending. Sources close to Trump say Dimon is a 'touchstone' for various policy concepts. Despite these claims, neither Trump's representatives nor JPMorgan have publicly discussed the matter. Previously, there were rumors that Dimon was a candidate for Secretary of the Treasury. However, Trump recently announced the nomination of Scott Bessent, founder of Key Square Group, as Secretary of the Treasury, indicating that Dimon has no formal position in the new administration. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes Bessent is 'the perfect candidate' and emphasized he will be 'the most supportive of innovation and cryptocurrencies' Secretary of the Treasury. (Bitcoin.com)
