US Senate confirms Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary

The US Senate approved the nomination of Scott Bessent on Monday to be secretary of the Department of Treasury, AzVision.az reports, citing Anadolu Agency.

President Donald Trump's pick was confirmed in a 68-29 vote.

During his confirmation hearing on Jan. 16, Bessent, 62, said he would unleash a new economic “golden age” for the American economy by implementing pro-growth regulatory policies, reducing taxes and boosting American energy production.

Bessent is the fifth nominee to be Senate-approved following Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
