JPMorgan and Ford bosses pull out of Saudi Arabia’s ‘Davos in the desert’

New York (CNN Business)A growing number of top business leaders are pulling out of a high-profile Saudi investment conference following the disappearance of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

A JPMorgan Chase (JPM) spokesperson said late Sunday that the bank’s CEO, Jamie Dimon, won’t attend the conference later this month as previously planned. The spokesperson declined to comment further.
Ford (F) Executive Chairman Bill Ford is no longer attending due to “scheduling,” the company said, declining to provide further details about the change of plans.
