Updated transcript of remarks below.It is an honor to be speaking here today as the 79th Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. It was only six months ago when President Trump laid out his vision to restore American economic prosperity to this very group. It is a privilege to be here both as a member of the Trump administration and a long-time member of the Economic Club of New York to explain how we will deliver on the President's vision.Today, I'm going to address three critical pillars of President Trump's America First agenda. America First is about more than just domestic or international policy, more than just economic policy and national security policy. It is a holistic program that serves the goal of improving the lives of every American.
