Many U.S. corporations are navigating a divisive political climate on a range of issues that impact their businesses, from trade to diversity to immigration.

The CEO of the country's largest bank, Jamie Diamond of J.P. Morgan Chase, has been speaking out about it.

Judy Woodruff spoke with him in Bentonville, Arkansas for her series, America at a crossroads.

Every summer for the past 14 years Jamie Diamond has spent a week traveling through different parts of the country

on his annual bus tour.

Visiting bank branches like this one opened just last year in Bentonville, Arkansas,

meeting with employees and clients and asking and answering questions.

Diamond is one of the most powerful figures on Wall Street at the helm of J.P. Morgan Chase

for the past 20 years.

And every year he writes a letter to shareholders

outlining his top concerns, including on issues beyond his immediate role as a banker, things like education,

D.E.I, and the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

With former President Trump charging the U.S. economy is shattered, Diamond's view is striking.

It is the most prosperous, most innovative, best economy the world has ever seen.

This world of our lives, we've lifted billions of people out of poverty.

There are negatives, you know, we should focus on that, but to give you a couple of

focal points, European GDP per person was very close to ours something like 20 years ago. It's now like

65% of ours. So you compare us to the rest of the Western world quite good and we need to

continue and we I think we could continue to do that.

You wrote in your letter to shareholders in the spring about our, you called it Polarized Electorate,

and you said we need to find ways to put aside our differences.

Why do we find ourselves in this situation?
