U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told a gathering of power brokers in Beverly Hills that President Trump’s controversial trade policies should be viewed as one leg of a three-pronged vision that, along with tax cuts and deregulation, will usher in a new era of American prosperity.
Speaking at the annual Milken Institute Global Conference, Bessent described the policies as laying the groundwork for a “golden age economy” that would be powered by an expanded U.S. manufacturing base and increased energy investment.
