What to know about Scott Bessent, Trump's new Treasury secretary
- From his years working for George Soros to his role as a key economic advisor to Trump, Bessent has extensive if contradictory Wall Street experience.
Scott Bessent, a former Soros Fund Management executive, has been named as a potential Treasury Secretary in a future Donald Trump administration. Bessent, who once managed George Soros's Quantum Fund, has since become a vocal critic of Soros, particularly regarding his political influence. He founded Key Square Group, a macro hedge fund, and has been involved in economic policy discussions, notably criticizing the Federal Reserve's actions.

His appointment would signal a shift towards more traditional Republican economic policies, focusing on reducing regulations and promoting economic growth through tax incentives.
