Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng during this week’s World Economic Forum, as part of a dominant administration presence capped by remarks by President Trump. Why it matters: I’m told Trump administration officials plan to focus on economic growth, home ownership and peace through strength — in a deliberate contrast to past globalist fare more focused on DEI, climate and even eating bugs. Zoom in: Bessent, who’s leading the U.S. delegation on Trump’s behalf, plans daily press conferences ahead of Trump’s arrival on Wednesday. Bessent’s themes will be “The Smart Money Is on America” and “America First Trade Is Transforming the World.”
