WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase ( JPM )

CEO Jamie Dimon will not be invited to be a part of Donald

Trump's administration, the U.S. president-elect said on social

media on Thursday.

"I respect Jamie Dimon, of JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ), greatly, but he

will not be invited to be a part of the Trump Administration,"

Trump said in his post.

A source told Reuters last week Dimon will remain at the

bank and had no plans to join Trump's administration after

earlier having been the subject of speculation as a Treasury

secretary candidate in the run-up to the Nov. 5 election.

Trump, a Republican, beat Democratic Vice President

Kamala Harris in the election. Dimon said last month that his

chances of taking an official post were "almost nil".

Trump is yet to announce a Treasury secretary pick.

Billionaire banker Howard Lutnick and investor Scott Bessent are

the

top contenders

for the role, sources have told Reuters.

Dimon, who is one of the most prominent leaders in

corporate America, has run JPMorgan ( JPM ) for almost 19 years.

Dimon and other members of the bank's operating

committee congratulated Trump and other elected representatives,

according to a memo to staff last week seen by Reuters.

The outspoken CEO travels frequently to Washington to

speak with policymakers and has expressed views on everything

from housing and the U.S.-China relationship to the economy. He

continued his tradition of not endorsing any presidential

candidate this year.
