WATCH: Scott Bessent pulled from live TV interview for urgent Situation Room meeting
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was abruptly pulled from a live televised interview with Sky News on Thursday to attend an emergency meeting in the White House Situation Room.
The interruption occurred while Bessent was speaking with Wilfred Frost.
Just as the conversation was heating up, an aide approached the Secretary and delivered the bombshell: “Mr. Secretary, the President wants you in the Situation Room.”
Both Bessent and Frost were visibly surprised by the timing.
