史考特貝森特：川普挑選的財政部長

索羅斯管理公司前首席資訊長兼 Key Square 對沖基金經理 Scott Bessent 是川普新任命的財政部長。

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated hedge fund manager Scott Bessent for the Treasury Secretary position.

當選總統唐納德·川普提名對沖基金經理人史考特·貝森特擔任財政部長一職。

The two met at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort last Friday, though sources say the conversation was not an official interview for the Treasury position.

兩人上週五在川普的海湖莊園會面，不過消息人士稱，這次談話並不是對財政部職位的正式採訪。

Trump posted on his platform, Truth Social, “Scott is widely respected as one of the World’s foremost International Investors and Geopolitical and Economic Strategists.” He added that Bessent would back his policies and agenda and help propel “US Competitiveness and stop unfair Trade imbalances”.

川普在他的真相社會平台上發文稱，“斯科特被廣泛尊崇為世界上最重要的國際投資者、地緣政治和經濟戰略家之一。”他補充說，貝森特將支持他的政策和議程，並幫助推動「美國競爭力並阻止不公平的貿易失衡」。

In a recent CNBC interview, Bessent clarified that while they hadn’t discussed job opportunities, he was ready to assist Trump in whatever capacity he needed. If the Senate approves of Bessent, he will take over from former Fed chief Janet Yellen.

在最近接受 CNBC 採訪時，貝森特澄清說，雖然他們沒有討論工作機會，但他已準備好以任何需要的身份協助川普。如果參議院批准貝森特，他將接替前聯準會主席珍妮特耶倫。

Scott Bessent Is Trump’s Pick For Treasury Secretary

斯科特·貝森特被川普提名為財政部長

Scott Bessent, former CIO at Soros Management and Key Square Hedge Fund Manager, is Trump’s new pick for Treasury Secretary.

索羅斯管理公司前首席資訊長兼 Key Square 對沖基金經理 Scott Bessent 是川普新任命的財政部長。

Bessent pulled through the competitive selection process, beating candidates like candidates include private equity billionaire Marc Rowan, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, the current nominee for commerce secretary, and Kevin Warsh, a former member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors.

貝森特通過了競爭激烈的選拔過程，擊敗了包括私募股權億萬富翁馬克·羅文(Marc Rowan)、坎托·菲茨杰拉德(Cantor Fitzgerald)首席執行官霍華德·盧特尼克(Howard Lutnick)、現任商務部長提名人以及聯準會理事會前成員凱文沃許(Kevin Warsh)等候選人。

According to Trump, Bessent supports the America First Agenda and will help actualize his economic policies. He even called him “one of the top analysts on Wall Street” and “a nice-looking guy, too.”

川普表示，貝森特支持美國優先議程，並將有助於實現他的經濟政策。他甚至稱他為“華爾街頂級分析師之一”和“一個長得帥的傢伙”。

However, not everyone in Trump’s administration was rooting for Bessent’s appointment. Elon Musk had openly disapproved of the candidate, writing on X that he would be a “business-as-usual choice.” He believed Lutnick would do a better job instituting the necessary changes. He added, “Business-as-usual is driving America bankrupt, so we need to change one way or another.”

然而，川普政府中並非所有人都支持貝森特的任命。伊隆馬斯克曾公開反對這位候選人，並在 X 上寫道，他將是「一切照舊的選擇」。他相信盧特尼克會在實施必要的變革方面做得更好。他補充道，“一切照舊正在導緻美國破產，因此我們需要以某種方式做出改變。”

Bessent Supports Crypto And Trump’s Proposed Tax Cuts

Bessent 支持加密貨幣和川普的減稅提議

If the Senate approves his appointment, Bessent will be very vocal about his support for digital assets, hinting at better crypto policies for the crypto community. In a July Fox Business Interview, Bessent even said that the crypto economy is here to stay and that crypto is all about freedom.

如果參議院批准他的任命，貝森特將非常直言不諱地表達他對數位資產的支持，暗示為加密社區提供更好的加密政策。在 7 月的福斯商業採訪中，Bessent 甚至表示，加密經濟將繼續存在，而加密就是自由。

Moreover, in a Wall Street editorial on November 10, Bessent claimed that Trump’s plan to reduce taxes for the American people and institute less strict business regulation would fuel the country’s economic growth. He argued that Trump’s policies would help “restart the American growth engine, reducing inflationary pressures, and addressing the debt burden from four years of reckless spending.”

此外，貝森特在11月10日的華爾街社論中聲稱，川普為美國人民減稅和放鬆商業監管的計劃將推動美國經濟成長。他認為，川普的政策將有助於「重啟美國成長引擎，減輕通貨膨脹壓力，並解決四年來魯莽支出帶來的債務負擔」。

Bessent also advocated for bank regulatory changes, calling for more efforts to preserve the U.S. Dollar, revisions to the Inflation Reduction Act, a revival of U.S. energy investment, and establishing “free and fair” trade, a clear reference to the tariffs endorsed by Trump.

貝森特還主張改變銀行監管，呼籲採取更多努力來保護美元、修訂《通貨膨脹削減法案》、復興美國能源投資以及建立「自由和公平」的貿易，這明確提到了川普支持的關稅。

Bessent has even advised Trump to appoint another Federal Reserve chairman next year, a year before Fed chief Jerome Powell’s term expires.

貝森特甚至建議川普明年再任命另一位聯準會主席，即聯準會主席鮑威爾任期屆滿前一年。
