PANews reported on January 17 that according to Jinshi, Trump's Treasury Secretary candidate Benson said that if elected, he would work with Congress to remove the debt ceiling to ensure that the United States avoids debt default, and reiterated his opposition to central bank digital currency (CBDC). He supports the restoration of 100% corporate R&D tax credits, opposes the "pillar two" global corporate minimum tax, and advocates increasing sanctions on Russia to promote talks. He warned that failure to extend tax cuts would increase the tax burden on the middle class, emphasized the importance of adjusting federal spending and tax policies to economic recovery, and believed that Trump's policies could reduce inflation to 2%. In addition, he agreed that the Federal Reserve should remain independent and supported the improvement of the overall tariff plan through carbon tariffs.
