JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said the US needs to “get stronger” in order to maintain its military and economic might, and detailed his bank’s plans to deploy more than $1 trillion to ensure that happens.

“With the right policies and committed actions, the United States will maintain the strongest military and strongest economy and will remain the bastion of freedom and the arsenal of democracy,” Dimon wrote in a letter to shareholders Monday. But “no country has a divine right to success.”
