JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon has spoken out about the racism-fuelled violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, describing it as having “no place in a country that draws strength from our diversity and humanity”.

A rally held in Charlottesville by white supremacists led to violence over the weekend in which one woman, a counter-demonstrator, was killed.
