VERDICT · MISLEADING
The statement attributes specific words to Scott Bessent about an 'Economic Fury' initiative under Trump's leadership, but there is no verifiable record of such an initiative or this exact phrasing from Bessent on the specified date. The source (chinanationalnews.com) is not a primary or reliable US government source, and the 'Economic Fury' initiative does not appear in credible Treasury Department records or major news archives.
