The heads of the largest U.S. banks met with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick last week to discuss President Donald Trump's tariff plans a day after they were announced.

CEOs from the nation's largest banks met with Lutnick in Washington on Thursday as part of a meeting hosted by the Financial Services Forum, an industry lobbying group. Lutnick discussed the administration's strategy toward tariffs and CEOs asked questions, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

A spokesperson for the Forum confirmed the meeting, saying the executives "meet regularly with policymakers to discuss a range of issues, including the strength and resiliency of the nation’s largest banks, and the need for appropriate policy and regulation to support economic growth and job creation.”

An administration official confirmed the meeting. A spokesperson for the Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lutnick's meeting with the group, which includes CEOs from the nation's eight largest banks, lasted about a half hour, one source said. It came one day after Trump announced sweeping tariffs across the globe, setting off a chaotic selloff on Wall Street.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who attended the meeting, warned in his annual letter to shareholders Monday that tariffs could have lasting negative consequences.
