President Trump has publicly praised Citigroup and its chief executive, Jane Fraser, writing on Truth Social that the bank had made a major comeback and congratulating its employees, though his post incorrectly credited them with topping deal-advisory rankings. Fraser, speaking in London, warned Britain’s new Labour government that higher taxes could push mobile international banks to Ireland, Germany, France or Japan. She declined to criticise Trump’s dismantling of diversity and inclusion rules, saying she keeps personal views out of her job and abides by regulations. The episode illustrates the political tightrope facing top corporate executives as they manage relations with the president.
