'Tone down the rhetoric' | After the Trump assassination attempt, CEOs are calling for less division in their workplace

Business leaders including JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and BlackRock CEO Larry Finch have called for less division and better dialogue in their workplace following the failed assassination of former President Donald Trump.

CEOs like Dimon and Finch are among those to have emailed staff following the shooting on Saturday night, in which a spectator was killed and two others were fatally injured.

The shooter, a 20-year-old man, fired eight rounds before being killed by snipers, with Trump later stating on social media that a bullet pierced his right ear. The motivations for the shocking incident are currently unclear.

Employers have already been quick to share statements with their workforce and the wider media, including Dimon, who condemned the attempt in an internal note sent to all JP Morgan Chase staff, as revealed by Business Insider.
