Saleha Mohsin

Senior Washington Correspondent, Bloomberg News; Author, "Paper Soldiers"

Saleha Mohsin is the senior Washington correspondent for Bloomberg News and author of "Paper Soldiers: How the Weaponization of the Dollar Changed the World Order."Saleha has reported on economic policy from Ohio to Britain, and Norway to Washington, D.C. Her work as a US Treasury Department reporter encompassed the final months of the Obama years, the about-face of US economic policies in the Trump era which encompassed a trade war, economic sanctions, the Federal Reserve and Capitol Hill, and the government’s response to the worst public health crisis in nearly a century. Saleha covered the transition into the Biden White House, including the stronger focus on economic statecraft and the ‘Buy America’ agenda that carried over from the previous administration. She also reported on the US response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Saleha has interviewed Treasury secretaries on trains, planes, cars and in a dozen countries.That coverage, which includes a decade of covering economic policy, culminated in her writing PAPER SOLDIERS. The book connects the dots between the origin of American power and economic prowess, and a global order that is now shifting after nearly 80 years — with adversaries and allies alike worrying what might happen should they find themselves on the wrong side of Washington.An Ohio native, Mohsin now lives in Bethesda, Maryland and covers economic policy and national politics for Bloomberg News. She is also the host of the Big Take DC podcast.
