Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was summoned to President Donald Trump’s Situation Room in the middle of an interview on Thursday and came back a tad tense. (Watch the video below.)
The secretary was discussing Japanese economics with “The Master Investor” host Wilfred Frost of Sky News when an aide told Bessent offscreen, “Sorry, the president wants you right away.”
Someone removed Bessent’s microphone and off he went at 10:22 a.m., according to Sky News. He resumed the sitdown at 12:07 p.m.
But he appeared distracted and fumbled for words.
“How was the president? Was he stressed?” Frost asked.
