Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Lloyd Blankfein said President-elect Donald Trump probably won’t be a dangerous leader, according to an interview in German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Asked whether Trump will pose a threat, Blankfein responded “I don’t think so,” and called him a “smart guy.” The Republican’s campaign rhetoric included calls to build a wall along the Mexican border, threats to punish companies that send jobs overseas and stop Muslims from entering the country.
