Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is President Trump’s favorite on his team of trade advisers, Politico reports.
Trump likes that Bessent is “smart” and “not desperate” and it helps that the former hedge fund manager has fans on Wall Street.
In contrast, “every Wall Streeter has complained” about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
