• Jamie Dimon wrote a memo to JPMorgan staff condemning the assassination attempt on Trump.

• The CEO said people should unite against violence and engage in "constructive dialogue."

• He joined other big Wall Street names and the business world in calling for unity after the shooting.

The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump drew quick responses from lawmakers and business leaders, including JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon.

Dimon on Sunday joined the list of CEOs who've spoken out against the shooting, sending a companywide email to employees, which Business Insider obtained.

He wrote his message on behalf of the "entire leadership team" at the company and said his thoughts were with Trump and his family, along with the families of the victims of the attack.

In the email, Dimon also called for unity and taking a strong stance "against any acts of hate, intimidation or violence" that undermine democracy or cause harm to others.

"It is only through constructive dialogue that we can tackle our nation's toughest challenges," Dimon wrote in the memo.

Dimon, who has donated to Democratic candidates in the past, praised Trump's policy record earlier this year in an interview. He credited the former president for growing the economy and being "kind of right about NATO, kind of right on immigration," as well as China. He added that he wished "the Democrats would think a little more carefully when they talk about MAGA."

Dimon's Sunday message about dialogue and unity against political violence was echoed by several other business and tech leaders, as well as big names on Wall Street.

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said in an earnings call Monday: "We cannot afford division and distrust to get the better of us." Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote on X that political violence is "intolerable" and that everyone should come together against it. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Monday on CNBC that the shooting was a tragedy and Americans needed to discuss divisions and bring "our community together."

Citibank CEO Jane Fraser also sent a letter to employees Monday, saying she hoped the events would cause everyone to rethink their words and "tone down the rhetoric so we can have a more civil discourse," according to a Yahoo Finance report.
