JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said Wednesday the US government “probably” will not default on its debts.

Dimon, Citigroup Inc. CEO Jane Fraser, and other top executives of major banks met with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and discussed the debt limit, with the government potentially just two weeks away from a catastrophic payments default.
