  "account": "US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant revealed that President Donald Trump is prioritizing the enhancement of the American economy's global competitiveness. In a recent post on X, Besant emphasized that the Trump administration seeks a robust economic environment based on productivity, innovation, and investment, rather than policies he deemed as unfair and distorted. The secretary highlighted the administration's commitment to fostering equal opportunities for businesses and workers in the United States, as years of neglectful policies have been a concern. He stressed that achieving sustainable economic growth necessitates fair competition among economies, based on their respective strengths in productivity, innovation, and investment, as opposed to unfair practices that push surplus production into global markets. Besant reiterated the Trump administration's aim to construct a more dynamic and competitive US economy, with a keen focus on safeguarding the interests of American enterprises and workers, while promoting a competitive economic landscape.",
