Treasury’s Bessent: Reports of Retirees’ Hesitation ‘False Narrative’

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday it’s a “false narrative” to claim that Americans are hesitant to retire because of the downturn the stock market took late last week after President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping worldwide tariffs.

“Americans who want to retire right now, the Americans who put away for years in their savings accounts, I think they don’t look at the day-to-day fluctuations,” Bessent said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

Further, he said that President Donald Trump and his administration are “building the long-term economic fundamentals for prosperity.”
