www.forbes.com/…Former President Donald Trump disputed claims he’s considering BlackRock CEO Larry Fink or J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to lead the Treasury Department if he’s elected to another term—despite telling Bloomberg last month Dimon was an option. Trump attacked Dimon last year as a “highly overrated Globalist” after Dimon suggested Democrats should support former South Carolina Gov. And Dimon has sometimes criticized Trump, though he said earlier this year Trump was “kind of right” about some issues. KEY BACKGROUNDTrump staffed his previous administration with wealthy business executives and is reportedly aiming to replicate that strategy if he wins in November. Susquehanna International Group founder Jeff Yass is also among the names being floated among Trump allies for treasury secretary, according to multiple reports, and Trump has told his former Republican primary challenger, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, he’s considering him for a cabinet position, potentially Homeland Security secretary, Bloomberg reported in March.
