Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent touted the US as the “premier destination” for global capital and argued that the Trump administration’s policies will solidify that position — countering the so-called sell America theme that materialized last month.

“The United States is the premier destination for international capital,” Bessent said in speech at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California, Monday. President Donald Trump’s trade, tax and deregulation agenda “push toward the same goal — to solidify our position as the home of global capital.”
