Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin will join The Hill’s Editor-in-Chief Bob Cusack for a one-on-one interview Thursday morning as part of the publication’s virtual summit exploring efforts to safely reopen the country and restore the nation’s economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Hill’s summit comes as more governors are reopening their states in various phases, with the economy suffering unemployment levels not seen since the Great Depression.
Secretary Mnuchin has been the Trump administration’s lead negotiator with congressional leaders on coronavirus legislation over the last couple months. The House last week passed a $3 trillion coronavirus package, which is strongly opposed by the White House and Republican leaders on Capitol Hill.
The “Advancing America’s Economy” summit will be headlined by the Mnuchin interview which will be followed with discussions with leading CEOs and national health experts, including Surgeon General Jerome Adams. The Mnuchin interview will air at 11 a.m. EDT.
The schedule of the event, which can be viewed on digital-release.thehill.com, follows.
