Jamie Dimon: "I never want to read a book with the title '2050: How the West Was Lost,'"

In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon outlined a proposal for a comprehensive trade and investment arrangement between the United States and Europe, arguing that such a pact could revitalize the trans‑Atlantic partnership and counter perceived economic and defense weaknesses in Europe. He urged the U.S. to aim for 3 percent annual growth and cited three foundations of American global influence—military strength, economic leadership and shared values—stating that failure of any could jeopardize the overall alliance. Dimon noted that Europe has lagged in implementing reforms recommended by recent reports and that completing the EU’s capital‑markets and banking integration could attract investment. He suggested the agreement might later include other democracies such as Canada, Japan and Australia, while acknowledging the plan is ambitious and untested.
