Jamie Dimon, the JPMorgan Chase chief executive, gave Donald Trump qualified credit during Trump's re-election campaign, saying Trump had a point on NATO, immigration and China, and citing economic growth and tax changes as accomplishments — remarks a Telegraph column, published a month before US midterms, credits with helping improve Trump's standing among business leaders after the Capitol Hill riots. Dimon, a lifelong Democrat, has never been in Trump's inner circle, and tensions have grown: Trump filed a $5bn suit in January against him and the bank, alleging it unfairly cut off his banking services, a claim JPMorgan disputes, while Dimon criticized a proposed 10% credit card rate cap. According to the column, Dimon has since appeared to break with Trump, writing a Wall Street Journal op-ed endorsing strong military and economic alliances, which the column calls a rejection of Trump's approach.
