Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen criticized Donald Trump’s economic policies

Washington, DC | Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told world financial leaders on Tuesday that the U.S. economy is stronger because the Biden administration has rejected isolationism, voicing thinly veiled criticism of former President Donald Trump’s policies two weeks before the U.S. election.

Yellen opened the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank by highlighting economic growth in the United States as the country finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. Without mentioning Trump by name, she said in her speech that the Biden administration had ended a period of international isolationism that had “made America and the world worse off.”
