Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser Builds Rapport With Trump After 3 High-Profile Meetings

2 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 1

Summary

  • Jane Fraser has emerged as one of the few big-bank chiefs seen in Washington as steadily gaining Donald Trump’s trust.
  • Three recent appearances underscored that access: a Windsor Castle dinner with Trump and King Charles III, a White House event with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and a May trip to Beijing for talks with Xi Jinping.
  • That visibility has stood out across Washington because many leaders of the largest US banks have struggled to build a durable relationship with the often unpredictable president.
  • For Citigroup, Fraser’s growing rapport signals unusual political access at a time when ties between Wall Street and the White House remain closely watched.
