And while major banks such as Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase are subject to stricter rules in terms of capital and liquidity, under Trump, the requirements for medium-sized banks have been relaxed.

And imposed the “Dodd-Frank” law, which was passed in the followingmath of the financial crisis in the world in the year 2008 more stringent standards on banks with assets of not less than 50 billion dollars.
