亿万富翁斯科特·贝森特作为被提名的美国财政部长可能面临几个障碍
周五，dent总统唐纳德·特朗普提名亿万富翁投资者、Key Square Capital Management 创始人兼首席执行官兼创始人斯科特·贝森特 (Scott Bessent) 担任美国财政部长。该角色将涉及贝森特监督所有金融货币政策法规，并启动金融关系。
到目前为止，斯科特·贝森特成为下一任美国财政部长的可能性得到了很多人的支持。华尔街的反馈是积极的，多个指数在提名后上涨。最终决定权仍在参议院，参议院将给予贝森特左右翼的支持。
然而，根据华盛顿dent最近的报道，被提名的财政部长在执行特朗普政策时可能面临一些障碍。该报告还概述了一些特朗普右翼支持者对他的提名的一些负面反馈。
特斯拉和 SpaceX 首席执行官兼创始人埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 最近的推文就是一个例子，称 Bessent 是一种一切照旧的选择。值得注意的是，特斯拉首席执行官表示，一切照旧正在导致该国破产。马斯克还称赞贝森特在争夺这一职位时的竞争对手霍华德·卢特尼克(Howard Lutnick)，称他是比贝森特更能做出改变的人。
贝森特承诺执行特朗普的政策
贝森特担任财政部长强化了市场对“特朗普看跌期权”的看法——贝森特为即将上任的内阁提供了巨大的经济和市场信誉。🤝🏼
他建议特朗普奉行“3-3-3”政策：

Research firm FS Insight mentioned on November 25 that Scott Bessent becoming the U.S. Treasury Secretary would reinforce Trump’s put. Additionally, FS Insight noted that the billionaire is a trusted economic figure, contributing to the credibility of the incoming cabinet.
Scott Bessent advised Trump to implement the 3-3-3 policy, which would involve cutting the budget deficit to 3% of the U.S. GDP, implementing deregulation to improve the GDP by 3%, and increasing oil production by 3 million barrels a day. According to Bessent, the 3-3-3 policy would fuel economic growth, improve the country’s energy production, create an environment to encourage investments, and more.
Scott Bessent is set to implement Trump’s tariff policies, sharing his fondness for the incoming president’s plans. The investor expressed his opinion in a November 25 Fox News opinionated piece. Bessent highlighted the importance of proper implementation of the tariffs to influence revenue growth.
According to the nominated Treasury Secretary, tariffs could also work for Trump’s foreign policy objectives, including encouraging U.S. exports, reducing illegal immigration and drug trafficking, reducing military aggression, and more.
Bessent will further need to deliver tax cuts as per Trump’s policies. The investor mentioned in an interview that the cuts were a top priority. Trump promised a corporate tax cut from 21% to 15%.
The nominated Treasury Secretary believes in the Fed’s independence
Scott Bessent has been significantly vocal about the need for an independent Federal Reserve. However, his views could go against Trump’s plans to overlook some of the decisions made by the U.S. central bank. The left could further be against Bessent in case he supports some of his past views on the Fed including having a ‘shadow Fed chair.’
The nominated Treasury Secretary, while speaking to Barron’s in October, suggested that a Trump decision to name Fed chair Jerome Powell’s successor could discredit any decisions Powell makes. Jerome’s term as the Fed chair will end in 2026, and his term on the Fed Board of Governors will end in 2028.
Senator Elizabeth Warren recently advised Scott Bessent not to interfere with the Fed’s decisions. In a statement on November 25, Senator Warren explained that while she does not support all of Powell’s decisions, she does not question his right to make them.
