JPMorgan Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon recently emphasized the importance of a strong partnership between the United States and India, stating that India should remain America’s “best friend.” Despite India’s commitment to its policy of non-alignment, Dimon believes the two nations can, and should, deepen their economic and strategic ties.

- A “Best Friend” Relationship: Dimon’s central message was that even with India’s non-aligned stance—a policy he supports—the U.S. should be its closest ally. He acknowledged that while recent global events, such as the situation with Ukraine and Russian oil, have created challenges, he remains optimistic that both countries will find intelligent ways to resolve their differences.
- Advocacy for Merit-Based Immigration: Dimon also spoke out on the H-1B visa issue, which has caused some surprise and concern. He is a strong supporter of merit-based immigration, advocating for policies that would allow skilled workers, especially those who earn degrees in the U.S., to easily obtain green cards. He believes this would benefit both nations.
Dimon’s remarks underscore the growing importance of the U.S.-India relationship in a complex global landscape, where both economic uncertainties and immigration policies are hot topics.
