Secretary Bessent Delivers Remarks at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia

As prepared for delivery.Good afternoon. What a great day it is to be here in Georgia. And what a welcome we’re about to give to a President who has never stopped fighting for the people of this great state.Now, many of you may think the best part of my job as Treasury Secretary is getting calls from President Trump in the middle of the night.“Scott, I didn’t wake you, did I?” “No, sir. I’m always up at 1:52 am on Tuesdays.”But the best part of my job is the chance to get out of Washington to spend time with the amazing people of these United States.
