Yellen: I have talked with Scott Bessent, the nominated Treasury Secretary, and discussed the broad responsibilities of the Treasury Department.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said she had spoken with Scott Bessent, Trump's nominee for Treasury Secretary, to discuss the broad responsibilities of the Treasury Department. Yellen said, I told Bessent, the nominee for Treasury Secretary, that the Treasury Department has professional staff who work with integrity and can make reliable analysis. I also expressed concerns about fiscal responsibility, we need to reduce the deficit, and hope that Congress can find a way to pay for any extension of the personal tax cuts passed by Trump in 2017.
