Dimon's Plan: 'Big, Beautiful' Trade Deal with Europe to Revitalize the West

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has proposed a plan to revitalize the West through a comprehensive economic and free-trade agreement with Europe.

In an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal, Dimon urged the U.S. to offer Europe a major incentive: if it executes meaningful economic and military reforms, including capital markets and banking single market unions, the U.S. will negotiate a 'big, beautiful' economic and free-trade agreement.

The proposed deal would not only benefit Europe but also expand to allies such as Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the Philippines, Dimon said.

The CEO emphasized that Europe needs to bolster its defense capabilities and reduce its strategic dependencies so it can stand alongside the U.S. in the face of autocratic pressure.
