JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon<\/a> has claimed in a new interview that he told Mayor Zohran Mamdani <\/a>\u201ceverything I wanted to say\u201d when the two met face to face last week<\/a>, adding that the sit-down was \u201cpleasant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very polite. It was very earnest. We had a very good conversation, but I said everything I wanted to say,\u201d Dimon told Fox Business Network host Maria Bartiromo on Friday<\/a>. \u201cI got to talk about affordable housing and child care. Most people want it. If you do it badly, it would be a disaster \u2026 Do it right. There are studies that can tell you how to do it right. Get people who know what they\u2019re doing and implement proper policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood policy is free,\u201d added Dimon, a Queens native who has led JPMorgan Chase for two decades. \u201cI feel like telling the politicians, \u2018Don\u2019t try to raise more taxes or spend more money, sit down and fix policy.’\u201d<\/p>\n

The 70-year-old reminded Bartiromo that the 34-year-old Mamdani \u201chas never had a job\u201d like the one he now holds.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, he\u2019s running the city with 300,000 employees now,\u201d Dimon said ahead of the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, California. \u201cAnd I\u2019ve seen mayors who just, they fail abysmally because they can\u2019t administer themselves out of a paper bag, or ideology blinds them to practical, realistic, real-world policy. And so we\u2019ll see. And, you know, if I can help them do the good stuff, I\u2019d be happy to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani met separately May 18 with Dimon and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to try to smooth over controversy over the mayor\u2019s far-left policy plans, including for a so-called pied-a-terre tax on second homes valued at $1 million or more.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner was widely criticized for filming a video promoting the new tax outside a penthouse owned by hedge fund titan Ken Griffin \u2014 who responded by calling the stunt \u201ccreepy,\u201d announcing an expansion of his Citadel fund\u2019s operations in Florida rather than New York, and even suggesting the company might scrap a $6 billion Park Avenue development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy guess is he probably regrets that,\u201d Dimon said Friday of Mamdani\u2019s video, \u201cbut you got to ask him that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has claimed in a new interview that he told Mayor Zohran Mamdani \u201ceverything…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247717,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[288,2375,1500,57,9,11,10,58,82],"class_list":["post-247716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-business","tag-jamie-dimon","tag-jpmorgan-chase","tag-metro","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-us-news","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
