JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is worried about the future of the free world. “The geopolitical situation is probably the most complicated and dangerous since World War II,” Dimon said during a talk at the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday. Dimon pointed to the Ukraine war, where “300,000 Russian troops invaded a democratic nation on the border of NATO and threatened nuclear blackmail,” as an example of the unprecedented global climate. “You also have the terrorist activity in Israel, which is now a little bit of a powder keg in the Middle East,” he added. All of this conflict, he said, is affecting “oil, gas, trade and military relationships.” On top of that, he said, the US-China relationship has become even more complex because of their different positions on the war in Ukraine.
