Two days ago Treasury Secretary Bessent delivered a speech at the Reagan National Economic Forum. Power Line's John Hinderaker has key excerpts in his column here.
Bessent is one of the stars of the Trump second term cabinet. He does an excellent job of spelling out the President's economic approach, with which I take no issue.
A key point Bessent makes is that sending manufacturing overseas weakens our military posture. Instead he maintains that "economic security is national security." And he stresses that seeking economic security is not an argument for isolationism.
The Hinderaker column is somewhat long but I found it a good read.
