washington - Learn more about Scott Bessent, the hedgefund manager nominated as the new US Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration.

Scott Bessent, the 62-year-old hedgefund manager, is set to take on the role of US Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration, bringing his expertise in financial matters to the forefront.

Originally from South Carolina, Bessent made a name for himself working as an investment chief for George Soros before starting his own firm, Key Square Group.

Known for his involvement in speculating against currencies like the British pound and the Japanese yen, Bessent has had both successes and setbacks in his investment career, with his fund's managed assets fluctuating over the years.

A long-time supporter of Democratic candidates, Bessent shifted his allegiance to Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign, contributing significantly to Trump's election bid and subsequently becoming an economic advisor to the businessman-turned-president.

Described as a 'solid choice' on Wall Street, Bessent advocates for fiscal discipline, deregulation, and reducing the growing national debt, which he believes has reached unsustainable levels under the Biden administration.

Bessent's economic agenda includes a plan to reduce the budget deficit, boost economic growth through deregulation, increase oil production, and establish the US as a hub for cryptocurrency.

While Bessent supports Trump's trade policies, including import tariffs as leverage in foreign relations, he believes that gradual implementation and negotiation tactics will prevent further inflationary effects.

As Bessent prepares to take on his new role, he will face challenges within the administration, including competition from other cabinet members like Howard Lutnick, as well as the task of collaborating with figures like Elon Musk on key economic and trade issues.
