Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted U.S. economic security at the EXIM Annual Conference on April 30, 2026. He said economic strength is now a pillar of national security, matching military power. The speech noted President Trump’s focus on supporting exporters, market access and risk mitigation, and described the launch of Project Vault, a critical‑minerals strategic reserve. EXIM’s financing of the program unlocks $12 billion, including $2 billion from private equity, to secure supply chains for semiconductors, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Bessent also called for increased domestic production of semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and AI technologies, and urged allies to share in the U.S. economic shield. The Treasury and EXIM aim to build resilience and advance American exports worldwide.
