Trump pledges to fire SEC Chair Gary Gensler ‘on day one’ if reelected
Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump promised immediate policy changes if he were to defeat prospective Democratic nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 US election.
At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville on July 27, Trump addressed a crowd of Bitcoiners who had waited more than an hour to hear the former president speak after he claimed the Secret Service needed additional time at the venue. The Republican candidate laid out a plan for crypto policies should he win in November, which included removing Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler “on day one” and appointing a “Bitcoin and crypto presidential council.”
“The moment I’m sworn in, the persecution stops and the weaponization ends against your industry,” said Trump. “I will appoint a new SEC chairman who believes that America should build the future, not block the future."
This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
