Remarks by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent at the Trump Accounts Press Conference

IntroductionThank you. I’m grateful to be with you all. An entire generation of Americans is about to learn, in the most life-changing way possible, how even small early contributions can become generational wealth. And it’s all thanks to President Trump.Trump Accounts are the President’s gift to the American people. They represent perhaps the most groundbreaking policy innovation of modern times. And they are shaped by a simple vision: “Every American a shareholder.” When every American owns a share of the most powerful economy on earth, every American will benefit from our nation’s growth. Every American will capture a portion of the productivity gains brought about by AI, robotics, and other world-changing technologies. And every American will be invested in the free-market system and its continued success. Trump Accounts are not a government program.
