YouTube Description
as posted by the channelScott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for Department of Treasury secretary, will appear before the Senate on Thursday for his confirmation hearing.
Bessent, who reportedly gave Trump economic advice on the campaign trail, has had a career in finance for decades.
He has also been vocal about his support for Trump's proposed economic policy of deregulation, increasing domestic energy production and tax cuts. In the days leading up to his confirmation, Bessent divested from his hedge fund and other investments to "avoid any actual or apparent conflict of interest," Reuters reported.
Trump referred to Bessent as a "strong advocate of the America First Agenda," who will maintain the U.S. dollar as the "Reserve Currency of the World."
