Now it's official: This is America's new Treasury Secretary
The US Senate has confirmed appointing Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary in the administration of US President Donald Trump.
On Monday, 68 senators voted for him, 29 against, and 16 Democrats supported the nomination.
Bessent, 62, is already a proponent of Trump's economic agenda, which focuses on tax cuts and high tariffs that some economists argue could undo some of the progress the Federal Reserve has made in controlling inflation, Voice of America reports.
As the 79th Secretary, Bessent will have an impact on US tax collection and its $28 trillion debt market, with enormous influence on fiscal policy, financial regulations, international sanctions and foreign investment.
