The leaders of Wall Street’s most powerful firms are speaking out to condemn the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told employees Sunday that he and his management team were “deeply saddened by the political violence” and attempt on Trump’s life. The shooting killed one bystander and injured two more.
“We must all stand firmly together against any acts of hate, intimidation or violence that seek to undermine our democracy or inflict harm,” Dimon said in the memo. “It is only through constructive dialogue that we can tackle our nation’s toughest challenges.”
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon addressed the matter at the start of an earnings call Monday morning, calling the attempted assassination a “horrible act of violence.”
