[US media: US Treasury Secretary nominee Bessant will give priority to delivering on Trump's tax cuts] Golden Finance reported that according to the Wall Street Journal, Scott Bessant said in his first interview after being nominated by US President-elect Trump as US Treasury Secretary that his policy focus will be to deliver on Trump's various tax cut promises. These measures include making the tax cuts of his first term permanent and abolishing taxes on tips, social security benefits and overtime pay. Bessant said that imposing tariffs and cutting spending, as well as "maintaining the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency" will be the focus of work. According to the report, Bessant is one of Trump's closest advisers, who has added depth to Trump's economic proposals and defended his more aggressive trade policy plans. He believes that President-elect Trump's plan to extend tax cuts and relax regulations on parts of the US economy will create an "economic carnival."
