Scott Bessent: The strength of the US dollar lies in tax policy, regulation, and energy certainty

US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stated at the New York Economic Club that a strong US dollar does not refer to the Bloomberg Dollar Index, but rather to a foundation built through tax policy, regulation, and energy certainty. Scott Besant believes that a strong dollar is not at odds with robust manufacturing, and noted that fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate are merely price movements on a screen.
