China: The Centerpiece of Trump's Trade Agenda

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted the pivotal role of China in President Donald Trump's trade policies during his keynote at the Milken Conference. "China is the biggest piece of [US President Donald] Trump's trade puzzle," Bessent remarked, underscoring the complex relationship between the two economic powerhouses.

Resilience and Strength of the US Economy

Bessent also spoke on the enduring strength of the American economy, noting, "Each time the American economy gets knocked down, it gets back up again. And it gets back up even stronger than it was before." This resilience, according to Bessent, is a testament to the robust nature of the US economic framework.

US: The Premier Destination for Global Capital

Further emphasizing the attractiveness of the US market, Bessent touted the nation as the "premier destination" for global capital. He argued that the strategic policies implemented by the Trump administration are designed to reinforce this status, ensuring the US remains at the forefront of global economic leadership.
