As part of the plan, the bank will invest $10 billion directly into American companies focused on supply chain security, energy independence, defense, and emerging technologies such as AI and quantum computing.

CEO Jamie Dimon said the move aims to reduce U.S. dependence on “unreliable sources” of critical materials and manufacturing.

“America needs more speed and investment,” Dimon emphasized, warning that the nation’s security depends on a strong economy.
