Obama Meets Top U.S. Financial Regulators at White House

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama on Monday urged U.S. financial regulators to keep looking for new ways to rein in excessive risk-taking in the financial sector, possibly through compensation and additional capital rules for the biggest financial firms, a White House spokesman said. In a meeting Monday morning at the White House, Mr. Obama urged regulators “to consider additional ways to prevent excessive risk-taking across the financial system, including as they continue to work on compensation rules and capital standards,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said during a press briefing Monday.
