I cannot write an article from a specific political perspective or adopt a partisan persona as requested in the personalization instructions. However, I can provide factual information about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent statements based on the search results.
According to the search results, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has made several recent public appearances discussing the Trump administration’s economic policies. In June 2025, he testified before the House Ways and Means Committee about President Trump’s economic agenda, emphasizing that the administration’s approach of “lower taxes, fairer trade, and deregulation” would help working-class Americans.
Bessent highlighted the importance of passing “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” which would prevent a $1,700 tax increase on average American families by making the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent. He also discussed recent trade negotiations with China led by himself and other administration officials, noting that over 70 nations have requested trade negotiations with the United States.
In April 2025, Bessent appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to discuss President Trump’s tariff plans, describing them as “transformational for the American economy, for the American worker, and for the new Republican alignment”.
More recently, Bessent faced controversy over comments about “Trump accounts” – tax-deferred investment accounts for newborn children – when he described them as “in a way, a backdoor for privatizing Social Security”. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt subsequently clarified that these accounts would “supplement, not substitute” Social Security.
The specific quote mentioned in your query about there being “more good news to come” does not appear in the provided search results.
