Besent: Support using US financial power as a foreign policy tool

US Treasury Secretary Besson expressed support for using financial power as a foreign policy tool to advance the interests of US allies and play a role in overseas financial and political affairs. Besson said that the US balance sheet can be used to promote foreign policy, with the goal of establishing alliances in the Western Hemisphere. Besent mentioned that the United States had provided billions of dollars in aid to Argentina to stabilize the currency and support the Millet government. The Trump administration is willing to use US fiscal resources to influence foreign politics and economy.
