While America slept for decades, our vulnerabilities grew. But under President Trump’s leadership, we are alert to the risks we can no longer ignore—and attuned to the responsibilities we can no longer defer. Under President Donald J. Trump, we have awoken to morning again in America. And as we celebrate 250 years of the American story, I firmly believe that our best days still lie ahead.

There was a story 10 days ago that said this is the worst April for the stock market since the Great Depression. Fast-forward to today: The Nasdaq is up on the month of April. And I haven't seen a story that says, “Stock market has biggest bounce-back ever.”

Democrats don’t want to admit that American workers thrived under President Trump’s first administration and that they will thrive again under his second. For the past four years the bottom 50% has been eviscerated by high inflation, unfettered immigration, and suppressed wages. Under President Trump’s leadership, that will soon come to an end.

In the first hundred days, President Donald J. Trump has set the table for peace deals, trade deals, and tax deals. In the next hundred days we will land a substantial number of all three.

At President Trump’s direction, Treasury Department is bringing the full weight of our authorities to defend the integrity of the U.S. and global financial systems. We will identify illicit funding, however artfully it is concealed. We will dismantle the networks that sustain political terrorism, however respectable their fronts may be. We will pursue those who enable political violence, however distant their jurisdictions.

The effort undertaken by Department of Government Efficiency and Elon Musk is one of the most important of my lifetime and I am committed to not letting the bureaucracy slow it down. We need to get the costs under control; we need to get government efficiency under control; and we need to make the government work better for the American people. At Treasury Department we’re committed to doing that.

We’ve been addicted to government spending for far too long, and now it’s time to re-leverage the private sector. By reversing Biden’s blowout spending and implementing responsible deregulation, we will deliver growth and prosperity for hardworking Americans.

The ‘E’ in DOGE is efficiency. It's not elimination. It's not extinction. We are trying to make the government do better for the American people and right-size it— the government can do a better job for the American people at a better price.

We have rediscovered at great cost what America’s first Treasury Department Secretary Alexander Hamilton taught us: the nation that depends on its adversaries for critical inputs is neither truly sovereign nor truly prosperous. As we approach 250 years of American independence, we would do well to remember that our founders left us more than a Republic—they bequeathed a roadmap powerful enough to sustain it for two and a half centuries and beyond.

It is unusual for soon-to-be-former Fed Chair Jay Powell to stay on at the Federal Reserve. For someone who speaks so often of norms, his unilateral decision to stay flies in the face of tradition. Kevin Warsh will bring about a new day at the Fed, with accountability, management, and sound policymaking in the lead.

For too long, our political class treated efficiency as a substitute for resilience and consumption as a measure of prosperity. Trade policy, industrial capacity, and national security are inseparable. And to allow foreign dependencies to degrade any one of those domains is to allow them to define America’s future. Under President Donald J. Trump’ leadership, we are rebuilding domestic production to restore American sovereignty.

Had Spirit Airlines been allowed to merge with Jet Blue, it would have given them much more resiliency. Thanks to Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, and all of their friends in the Biden Administration who backed their enthusiastic opposition to the Spirit-Jet Blue merger, dozens of regional airports will now lose service and thousands of jobs will now be lost.

Thanks to the mutual respect between President Donald J. Trump and President Xi, the U.S.–China relationship has reached a stable but competitive point. Our goal is fair competition and de-risking, not decoupling. It is clear that China must rebalance, and their persistent $1 trillion trade surplus must be addressed.

Before the war in Ukraine, less than 1% of India’s oil came from Russia. Now it is 42%. The system is allowing India to profiteer by buying cheap Russian oil, reselling it, and pocketing $16B in excess profits. This opportunistic arbitrage is unacceptable.

On the eve of America’s 250th anniversary, the most fitting way to honor those who founded this great nation is to meet the pressing challenges of our own time with the same resolve that they brought to theirs. Last night at The Economic Club of New York, I made clear that under President Donald J. Trump’ leadership, Treasury Department is working to restore economic security as the foundation that allows a nation to fulfill its most basic obligations—and to strengthen the security, prosperity, and freedom of our people for the next 250 years and well beyond.

President Trump will always put America’s national security and Americans first. And as I have said before, the President has multiple tools in his toolbox. Let’s be clear: the Court did not rule against this Administration’s tariffs. It only said IEEPA can’t be used to raise revenue. We will immediately shift to other proven authorities—Sections 232, 301, and 122—to keep our tariff strategy strong.

For the last four decades, Wall Street has grown wealthier than ever before. And it can continue to grow and do well. But for the next four years, it’s Main Street’s turn. It’s Main Street’s turn to hire workers. It’s Main Street’s turn to drive investment. And it’s Main Street’s turn to restore the American Dream.

.Kristen Welker pushed back last week when I warned that the BLS jobs data would show a massive downward revision. Now it’s official: 2024 job gains were exaggerated by nearly 1M workers, and this is on top of an already reported 577K in downward revisions. This brings the Biden jobs overstatement to a staggering 1.5M. The truth: President Trump inherited a far worse economy than reported, and he’s right to say the Fed is choking off growth with high rates.
