New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon in separate, individual meetings. The discussion with Dimon, held at JPMorgan's new headquarters, was described as a constructive and friendly first-time meeting, covering topics such as reducing government waste and red tape.
The talks are part of a broader outreach by Mamdani's administration to the city's business leaders amid ongoing debates about his fiscal policies. The mayor is promoting proposals to increase taxes on high earners and corporations to address budget shortfalls, a stance that has created tension with some in the financial industry, which accounts for a significant portion of the state's tax revenue.
