JPMorgan chairman Dimon: US should hurry to conclude trade agreements

What to look for
You can examine Dimon's reasons for urging faster trade agreements, including military strength, the dollar and cross-border investment figures.
Why it matters
This helps explain the reasoning that connects economic leadership, military strength and reserve-currency status.

In an interview about his WSJ op-ed, JPMorgan chairman Jamie Dimon explains policies for maintaining US economic leadership. He argues that the strongest military and the dollar's reserve-currency status depend on the strongest economy. Citing 20~30 trillion dollars of foreign investment in the US alongside US companies' overseas investment, he calls for the Western world to unite on trade. He says allied countries account for 60% of global GDP and that trade agreements should be concluded quickly while unfair treatment is also addressed. All directional outlooks are the speaker's conditional judgments, not definitive short-term price predictions.
