Deputy Secretary Michael Faulkender’s Remarks Before U.S. Bancorp Fly-In Meeting

As prepared for delivery.Thank you for inviting me to join you all today. It is a privilege to be with so many banking leaders who play a critical role in shaping the financial landscape throughout our nation.Four days after the attacks on September 11, 2001, I was in Washington, DC for the very first time. I found myself standing in front of the Treasury building and will never forget the patriotism and potential of our nation that I felt on that day. Every day that I walk into Treasury, I am reminded of the awesome privilege I have to serve there and the awesome responsibility that comes with it.During President Trump’s first term, I was the Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy, in which I advised the Secretary on all domestic and international matters that impacted the economy.
