Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a Sunday interview with CBS News that the Trump administration is “working every day” on the affordability crisis in the U.S.
Margaret Brennan, the host of “Face the Nation,” spoke with Bessent, discussing a poll showing that at least half of Americans report “concern about paying for food and groceries and housing.”
“And I will tell you, President Trump was elected, one of the reasons was the affordability crisis, and we are setting about doing that,” Bessent began.
“I can tell you, we’re working every day. What I will point out, interest rates, the 10-year bond, which I am focused on, have been down every week since President Trump was president. Mortgage rates have been down every week. So that’s a pretty good start,” he continued.
