Today’s Monthly Treasury Statement reflects what I’ve been saying: Strong private sector led growth alongside constrained federal spending means the deficit to GDP will take care of itself. FY 2025’s deficit to GDP is now projected to be under 6%. And with continued fiscal

China’s escalatory actions have galvanized both the U.S. government and private industry. Just this week, @jpmorgan announced a $1.5 trillion fund to support industries crucial to U.S. national security. The United States must de-risk and diversify supply chains to protect the

The surge in political violence across our nation is reprehensible and can never be tolerated in the USA. Stopping it starts with following the money. Thank you, @SecScottBessent, for your leadership in uncovering and cutting off the financial networks behind it.
.@SecScottBessent on tracking funders of political violence: "We are operationalizing this here at Treasury, and we are going to track down who is responsible for this. Charlie's death has set this off, and we are determined not only to honor him, but to keep our country safe."

China’s expansive rule to control the flow of rare earths is a repudiation of the U.S.-China agreement reached 6 months ago in Geneva. The Administration is prepared to take strong actions if China moves forward with this escalatory new regime. Read the Joint Statement that

President Trump is asserting American sovereignty and leading our allies to push back against China’s economic coercion. We do not seek to decouple from China, but we will not let a command-and-control economy dictate terms to the United States.

We are only in the third inning of a new economic boom driven by President Trump’s pro-growth policies and innovation in technology and AI. We are about to see major gains in investment, productivity, and job growth across America.

President Trump’s agenda is unleashing an economic boom for working class Americans. The only thing standing in the way now is Democrat-led gridlock. I’m calling on moderate Democrats to come across the aisle and reopen the government for the good of the American people.

Honored to participate in @POTUS’ meeting with President @JMilei to discuss how Argentina can be Great Again by embracing economic freedom. President Milei has given Argentina a chance to end a decades-long decline under Peronism, and we hope Argentina seizes the opportunity
.@SecScottBessent: @JMilei "is fighting 100 years of bad economic history and policy... President Obama had a big opportunity during his term, which he wasted. Many governments in Latin America went center-right, and the U.S. ignored them. We are not going to ignore our allies."

Just as @USTreasury led the effort after 9/11 to track terrorist financing, it will follow the money behind violent domestic networks. We will expose domestic terrorists and bring them to justice.
