I was proud to recognize Shirley Gathers with the Alexander Hamilton award – the highest @USTreasury honor – for over 40 years of service at Treasury, including as Senior Scheduler and Executive Assistant to four Treasury Secretaries. Thank you for your exemplary service!
A frank and productive exchange of views with my counterpart on key issues like expanding the global supply of candy and toys and tightening sanctions against chores.

“As we gather, America’s strong economic performance continues to serve as a key engine for resilient global economic performance. The Biden administration has driven an historically fast & inclusive economic recovery.” #G7
I am glad to host Vice Premier He Lifeng for two days of discussions about the U.S.-China economic relationship. We seek to develop deeper and more resilient channels of communication to stabilize the bilateral economic relationship and make progress on economic issues.
People who stand up with courage have the capacity to shape the course of history. Ukraine has been writing the next chapter of its history with a heroic fight for freedom.
I laid a wreath in St. Michael’s Square today to honor all that has been lost, and the courage of Ukraine.
Honored to join @USTreasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Gov. Phil Bredesen at Swett's Restaurant to discuss how the Biden economy is working for our city.
I leave Lusaka heartened by Zambia’s economic reforms and productive discussions I've had with counterparts and business leaders on global challenges we face together: food security, climate change, economic stability. I am grateful for ongoing partnership between our countries.
What a fascinating and special place! @SecYellen visited a women owned @theGCF cite in rural Zambia. She spoke to women in a farm cooperative about their work that contributes to food security in the region! #FoodSecurity#Climate#Treasury
AP: “Yellen’s visit to Detroit was part of a monthlong tour as well as a larger WH campaign to highlight new laws intended to repair the econ, boost computer chip manufacturing, lower Rx prices, expand clean energy and revamp the country’s infrastructure.” https://t.co/414ZY63iHQ
The Biden Administration understands the urgency of investing in and expanding America’s most valuable economic asset: our workforce.
Projects like those I’ve seen today at @Ford’s Detroit EV facility are evidence of the innovation that comes from investing in America’s workers.
Deepening economic ties with partners like the Republic of Korea has been a priority of my Indo-Pacific visit. At LG Sciencepark, I'm addressing the importance of building resilient supply chains to ease inflationary pressures & lower consumer costs. https://t.co/CwrnK1ytF7
Today in Tokyo, I had the honor of paying my respects to Prime Minister Abe Shinzo alongside @USAmbJapan Emanuel.
Abe was a visionary leader for Japan and for the world. His legacy will live on in a more prosperous Japan and a stronger partnership between our two countries.
