Trump stævner JP Morgan for fem milliarder dollar

USA's præsident Donald Trump har stævnet den store bank JP Morgan Chase og dens CEO Jamie Dimon for mindst fem milliarder dollar. Anklagen: Banken afsluttede forretningsforbindelser med Trump og hans selskaber i 2021 af politiske grunde.

USA's præsident Donald Trump indgav et søgsmål torsdag den 22. januar 2026 mod den New York-baserede store bank JP Morgan Chase (JPMC) og dens CEO Jamie Dimon. Klagen, indgivet af advokaten Alejandro Brito til distriktsretten i Miami-Dade County, Florida, kræver mindst fem milliarder dollar i erstatning. Trump anklager banken for at have «debanket» ham og hans selskaber af politiske motiver. Opsigelserne fandt sted kort efter Trumps valgnederlag til Joe Biden i november 2020 og stormen på USA's kapitol den 6. januar 2021. Ifølge klagen blev søgerne, herunder Trump golfklubber og Trump Miami Resort Management, informeret den 19. februar 2021 om, at deres konti ville blive lukket i april 2021. Søgerne havde været kunder i årtier og omsat hundredvis af millioner dollar gennem banken. «Søgerne er overbeviste om, at JPMC's ensidige beslutning var baseret på politiske og sociale motiver samt JPMC's grundløse, 'woke' opfattelser», hedder det i søgsmålet. JP Morgan afviser anklagerne. I en erklæring siges: «Vi respekterer præsidentens ret til at stævne os og vores ret til at forsvare os – det er til det, domstolene er der.» Banken understregede, at konti ikke lukkes af politiske eller religiøse grunde, men på grund af juridiske eller regulatoriske risici. «Vi lukker konti, fordi de udgør en juridisk eller regulatorisk risiko for virksomheden.» JP Morgans aktier steg let. Forholdet mellem Trump og Dimon er anspændt. Dimon har for nylig kritiseret Trumps forslag om at sætte et loft for renterne på kreditkort til ti procent som en «økonomisk katastrofe». I en bredere sammenhæng er der kritik af «woke»-banker: USA's tilsynsmyndighed OCC undersøger, om institutioner diskriminerer kunder ud fra politiske holdninger. En rapport fra sidste år nævnte JP Morgan blandt de berørte.
