U.S. Senator Mike Crapo, a Republican from Idaho and the lead Republican of the Senate Finance Committee, has commented on President-elect Donald Trump's recent announcement. Trump intends to nominate Scott Bessent as Secretary of the Treasury Department.

Crapo stated, "The Treasury Secretary is the key economic negotiator for the White House and one of the first nominations that the Senate confirms. Scott Bessent’s extensive private sector experience and market knowledge make him well-positioned for the task, and I look forward to swiftly considering his nomination so that we can begin the important work before us."

Bessent's nomination will be one of the initial tasks for confirmation by the Senate as he prepares to take on a crucial role in economic negotiations for the White House.
