Watch Trump’s Treasury secretary pick Scott Bessent testify live before Senate on tariffs, dollar


President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary testifies Thursday before the Senate Banking Committee, both stating his case for the position and laying out the economic agenda for the new administration.

Businessman Scott Bessent, an investor, hedge fund manager and billionaire political donor who once worked with George Soros, will offer remarks then take questions from the panel.

In a statement he is expected to deliver, the anticipated Cabinet nominee will pitch Trump’s vision for America.

“Today, I believe that President Trump has a generational opportunity to unleash a new economic golden age that will create more jobs, wealth and prosperity for all Americans,” Bessent says in the remarks.

“President Trump was the first president in modern times to recognize the need to change our trade policy and stand up for American workers,” he adds.
