BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink said he told President Donald Trump the U.S. needs to spend on infrastructure to generate jobs, as the country navigates the next steps to rescue a coronavirus-addled economy.

“I’ve told the U.S. president, and I’ve told this to many other politicians now, that an infrastructure build is really important,” Fink said Thursday in a live-streamed interview with Sergio Rial, CEO of Banco Santander SA’s Brazil unit.
