Far-left ideologue @SenWarren is trying to discredit a fresh review of the Fed’s SVB supervisory 2022 failures before it has even begun, no doubt to protect her sock puppets Michael Barr and Lael Brainard. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants. Americans deserve a ful…
At President Trump’s direction, @USTreasury is bringing the full weight of our authorities to defend the integrity of the U.S. and global financial systems. We will identify illicit funding, however artfully it is concealed. We will dismantle the networks that sustain political…
As America commemorates 250 years of independence, the @usmint will begin striking this new $1 gold coin to honor the enduring legacy of liberty and a lasting symbol of patriotism. Featuring President Trump, it celebrates the strength of American values, and the promise of a nati…
.@USTreasury is committed to disrupting and degrading Iran’s illicit financial activities, including its abuse of digital assets.  Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned multiple wallets tied to the Central Bank of Iran, resulting in the freeze of over $130…
As a South Carolina native, I can think of no more fitting tribute to Lindsey Graham's legacy of service to our state and our nation than seeing his beloved sister carry it forward. Darline has always been at her brother’s side and I know she will be an outstanding interim Senat…
Senator Lindsey Graham was a great American and Patriot. He was a dedicated public servant who never stopped fighting for the Palmetto State and all Americans. As a Senator he worked tirelessly for our country. It was an honor to call him my friend. And work with him to advanc…
Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability. There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S…
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a band of patriots gathered in Philadelphia and changed the course of history. What followed was eight years of war, sacrifice, and an unshakable belief that liberty was worth fighting for. Against all odds, they defeated the greatest empire on e…
As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, our national prosperity remains rooted in the enduring principles of faith, family, liberty, and opportunity. Under @POTUS' leadership, we are strengthening the economic future for workers and families across America. At this year’s an…
Thank you to the American Academy of Achievement for the great privilege of receiving the Golden Plate Award at the International Achievement Summit. I am honored to join such distinguished company and grateful for the Academy’s work to extend the reach of the American Dream.
America’s competitive advantage has never been confined to the bounty of our natural resources or the depth of our capital markets. It has always resided in the character and capacity of our people. This great insight has been the source of America’s strength since its founding…
We have rediscovered at great cost what America’s first @USTreasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton taught us: the nation that depends on its adversaries for critical inputs is neither truly sovereign nor truly prosperous. As we approach 250 years of American independence, we would…
Across the country, community bankers serve as the first line of defense in our financial infrastructure. In Houston, I spoke with more than a dozen bankers about how financial institutions must remain vigilant against illicit financial activity associated with the unlawful emp…
Americans lose hundreds of billions of dollars to fraud each year. At @USTreasury, we follow the money, and we know financial institutions are often the first to see suspicious activity in real time. They need the tools to act quickly and share information that can help stop frau…
.@POTUS is creating the conditions for families and businesses to prosper. Our economic strategy rests on three distinct, but mutually reinforcing levers of tax, trade, and deregulation. Beneath each of these priorities is a layer that binds them all: the doctrine of energy domi…
The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing. Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts. Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.…
FISA is a critical tool that allows Treasury to stop terrorists from utilizing the financial system to carry out attacks against the United States and continues to be a critical component of our national and economic security. It is the most important tool we have to collect in…
For too long, our political class treated efficiency as a substitute for resilience and consumption as a measure of prosperity. Trade policy, industrial capacity, and national security are inseparable. And to allow foreign dependencies to degrade any one of those domains is to…
While America slept for decades, our vulnerabilities grew. But under President Trump’s leadership, we are alert to the risks we can no longer ignore—and attuned to the responsibilities we can no longer defer. Under @POTUS, we have awoken to morning again in America. And as we ce…
The United States Government will not tolerate any effort to impose a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz. Oman, in particular, should know that the U.S. Treasury will aggressively target any actors involved - directly or indirectly - in facilitating tolls for the Strait and a…
The @USTreasury continues our Economic Fury campaign against the Iranian regime. Their troops are not getting paid, the police are not reporting for work, and Kharg Island is shut down. The Iranian economy and currency are in free fall. Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGS…
On Memorial Day, we pause as one nation to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of our country and the freedoms we cherish. Their sacrifice represents the very highest form of service to America. We honor those who never returned home, and we keep all…
Robert Gabriel has done a stellar job as DNSA aligning economic policy with national security goals. He has been a great partner in driving efforts to reindustrialize the U.S. economy, re-shore production and investment, and prioritize our financial and capital markets.
The United States is hardly alone in facing the scourge of terrorism, especially from Iran. Yet, too often, we seem to be alone in our resolve to thwart it. If we are serious about “no money for terror,” then there must also be “no room for excuses.” At the No Money for Terror…
