Bessent spoke on Fox earlier today.
“Over the medium term, which is what we’re focused on, it’s a focus on Main Street. Wall Street’s done great, Wall Street can continue to do fine, but we have a focus on small business and consumers,” Bessent said on Fox News. “So we are going to rebalance the economy.”
