U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent is scheduled to deliver a major economic security address at the 2026 Reagan National Economic Forum and host a "Trump Accounts Tour" event in California on Friday, May 29, 2026. The address will outline the Administration's "America First" economic agenda, focusing on policies to build long-term economic resilience and growth.
Secretary Bessent's speech at the Reagan National Economic Forum follows recent China negotiations and a G7 finance ministerial, and precedes America's 250th anniversary. After his prepared remarks, he will engage in a fireside chat Q&A with Fox Business host and former Director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow. The forum is scheduled for 11:40 AM PDT // 2:40 PM EDT.
Later that day, Secretary Bessent will lead the "Trump Accounts Tour" in Westlake Village, California, at 1:15 PM PDT // 4:45 PM EDT. This event will feature discussions on "Trump Accounts," which are designed to expand opportunities and strengthen financial security for American children, made possible by the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Special guests for the California event include Grammy-winning actor Kelsey Grammer, Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS), Representative French Hill (R-AR2), and Representative Vince Fong (R-CA20), alongside local entrepreneurs and community leaders. Secretary Bessent will also meet with local business owners to discuss the benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts Act. The new Trump Accounts app, launched Thursday, will also be highlighted.
