President Donald Trump will host JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and other top financial industry executives for dinner at the White House on Wednesday, marking the administration's latest attempt to court corporate America as political pressure mounts over affordability concerns following last week's Democratic electoral victories.
Dimon joins a roster of Wall Street's most powerful figures, including Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, BlackRock chief Larry Fink, Morgan Stanley's Ted Pick and Nasdaq chair Adena Friedman, according to sources familiar with the guest list. The dinner comes as Trump faces rising criticism over his economic policies, which have historically favoured wealthy Americans and corporations whilst voters across the country have demanded relief from crushing living costs.
