Watch live: Bessent delivers warning on US manufacturing
During a talk titled “While America Slept,” Bessent will argue that policymakers have sought efficiency over resilience, hollowing out productive capacity in semiconductors, rare earths, medicines and defense goods, according to Axios. And he’ll argue the Trump administration is turning the tide. The talk comes one day after Bessent took the podium at Thursday’s White House briefing, the latest senior official to fill in for press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave.
