CEOs of JP Morgan, BlackRock, and Blackstone pull out of Saudi conference
J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, and Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman will not be attending an investment conference in Saudi Arabia later this month, CNBC has learned. The moves are in reponse to concerns about the disappearance and suspected murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Several executives and media outlets — including CNBC, Financial Times, CNN and The New York Times — have withdrawn from the event, citing concerns about the disappearance and suspected killing of Khashoggi.
