このコンテンツについて
Bessent's trip to Canada began on May 20, when he traveled to Banff specifically to participate in the G7 Finance Ministers meeting. His agenda centered on addressing global economic imbalances, combating non-market practices in both G7 and non-G7 countries, and promoting private sector-led growth.
On May 23, 2025, Bessent gave a notable interview to Bloomberg Television where he discussed several key economic issues facing the administration. He spoke about President Trump's tax bill currently moving through Congress, efforts to establish new trade deals, bond market conditions, and potential easing of rules restricting trading in the Treasuries market. During the interview, Bessent also addressed questions regarding Harvard University's tax-exempt status.
This recent international engagement follows Bessent's earlier handling of tariff policies. In April 2025, following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs, Bessent characterized them as a "negotiating strategy" that had successfully brought more than 75 countries forward to discuss trade terms. The administration subsequently announced a 90-day pause on most of those tariffs, with Bessent noting that countries willing to negotiate could potentially face a reduced 10% baseline tariff.
The market responded positively to this pause in tariff implementation, with the S&P 500 surging by more than 8% on the day of the announcement. Before the pause, economists had warned that the administration's trade policies could increase recession risks and potentially reignite inflation, as businesses like Walmart would likely pass tariff costs on to consumers.
Bessent, who was sworn in as the 79th Secretary of the Treasury on January 28, 2025, brings 40 years of experience in global investment management to his role. Prior to his appointment, he served as CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Key Square Capital Management, a global hedge fund focused on macro investing that he founded in 2015. He is known particularly for his expertise in currency and fixed income markets, having previously served as Chief Investment Officer at Soros Fund Management and as managing partner of Soros Fund Management's London office from 1991 to 2000.
