Major Bank Unveils $1.5 Trillion Effort To Boost US Economic, National Security

JPMorgan Chase announced Monday a $1.5 trillion plan to facilitate investments in industries “critical to national economic security and resiliency” over the next 10 years.

The major bank plans to directly invest up to $10 billion to support select companies primarily based in the U.S. to help bolster growth, foster innovation, and advance strategic manufacturing, according to a news release. The announcement comes as trade tensions between the U.S. government and countries such as China have been rising in 2025.

“It has become painfully clear that the U.S. has allowed itself to become too reliant on unreliable sources of critical minerals, products and manufacturing – all of which are essential for our national security,” JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement. “Our security is predicated on the strength and resiliency of America’s economy. America needs more speed and investment.”

“It also needs to remove obstacles that stand in the way: excessive regulations, bureaucratic delay, partisan gridlock and an education system not aligned to the skills we need,” Dimon added.
