Robert Reich: Davos is a chance for JPMorgan Chase CEO to help world leaders stand up to Trump

Trump is determined to bully others into submission through tariff and legal threats — will JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon stand up to him?

Hundreds of global CEOs, finance titans, and more than 60 prime ministers and presidents are in Davos, Switzerland, for the annual confab of the world’s powerful and wealthy: the World Economic Forum.

This year’s Davos meeting occurs at a time when Donald Trump is not just unleashing his brownshirts on Minneapolis and other American cities, but also dismantling the international order that’s largely been in place since the end of the Second World War — threatening Nato, withdrawing from international organizations including the UN climate treaty, violating the UN charter by invading Venezuela and abducting Nicolás Maduro, upending established trade rules, and demanding that the US annex Greenland.
