U.S. Treasury Secretary Calls for Collaboration with IMF and World Bank

In a statement to Odaily, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Besent clarified that the ‘America First’ policy does not advocate for isolationism. The Biden administration intends to collaborate with both the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank as long as these organizations remain true to their primary mandates. Secretary Besent stressed that economic stability and growth should be paramount metrics for measuring the IMF’s success, rather than solely focusing on debt limits.
