Media lacks basic financial understanding, Scott Bessent notes
Bessent criticizes Warren and media

Scott Bessent, 79th U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and founder of Key Square Group, criticizes Senator Warren in his latest comments for her lack of knowledge about foreign exchange markets.

He also points out that no member of the media has demonstrated even a basic level of financial understanding, according to his statement.

Bessent has previously criticized media coverage of the Federal Reserve, stating that journalists focus on insider gossip instead of providing substantive economic analysis in earlier comments. He has also addressed recent economic indicators, noting that core inflation at 2.5 percent is moving toward the U.S. Fed's target in other remarks. The latest statements reflect his ongoing scrutiny of public discourse around financial policy.
