In honor of National Small Business Month, @USTreasury convened a roundtable discussion with local business leaders on how @POTUS' Working Families Tax Cuts are helping businesses grow, invest, and create jobs. From full-expensing for R&D and manufacturing equipment to No Tax o…
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…
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…
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…
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…
For too long, financial markets felt out of reach for too many. We are proud to launch the @TrumpAccounts app, a historic tool that brings the President’s vision directly to the kitchen table. This app ensures that every American family has a direct and easy way to be involved…
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.
Congratulations to Kevin Warsh on becoming the 17th Chair of the @federalreserve. I look forward to working together to strengthen the American economy and restore confidence in our financial institutions. Today, a new chapter begins at the Federal Reserve with accountability, s…
I enjoyed meeting with His Excellency Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari @MoF_Qatar in Paris. We discussed Doha’s tremendous resilience in the face of Iran’s indiscriminate attacks on its neighbors and the need for allies to continue to pressure Iran now to end its threats.
Following my successful visit to Japan last week, I spoke with @Bank_of_Japan_e Governor Kazuo Ueda today on the sidelines of the @G7 about Japan’s resilient economy and market outlook. I am confident that Governor Ueda will successfully guide Japan’s monetary policy, and I beli…
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…
Trump Accounts are not only a savings tool but an opportunity to build financial literacy. As account balances grow, young Americans will gain firsthand experience with investing and long term planning.
.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea. This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide spe…
In my meeting with President @jaemyung_lee of South Korea, I thanked him for both his hospitality and for the strong alliance between the United States and South Korea. During our broad-ranging discussion, I noted South Korea’s strong economic performance and affirmed the United…
Thanks to the powerful bond between @POTUS and Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae the relationship between the United States and Japan is stronger than ever before, and I was happy to share with the Prime Minister my belief that the fundamentals of the Japanese economy are indeed str…
In my discussions with Minister @moteging, I commended Japan on its economic resilience. Economic security is national security, and the United States is grateful for Japan's support as a strong, stable ally. During our talks, I raised issues pertaining to critical minerals and…
During talks with Minister @ryosei_akazawa, I was glad to share that thanks to President Trump’s policy of American Energy Dominance, the United States is now exporting a record amount of energy to the world. I highlighted the continued positive collaboration between the United…
In my meeting with Minister @satsukikatayama, I was pleased to reaffirm the strong economic partnership between the United States and Japan. The level of communication and coordination between our teams in addressing undesirable, excess volatility in currency markets continues to…
Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and under @POTUS’ leadership, Treasury is moving aggressively, through Economic Fury, to sever the Iranian military’s financial lifelines. We will relentlessly target the regime’s ability to generate, move, and repatriate funds,…
It is very difficult for rats in a sewer pipe to know what’s going on in the outside world. Some color for the Iranian Leadership as they literally sit in the dark: 1. The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz. 2. There is a hard currency, i.e. U.S. dollar,…
Financial Literacy fuels the American Dream. It is a foundational skill, similar to reading and writing, which is why we must get our youth engaged and excited to learn from an early age. I was pleased to join students, educators, and local partners including nearly a dozen fina…
Today, the Task Force to Eradicate Christian Bias published a report detailing how numerous Biden Administration prosecutions, policies, and practices demonstrated anti-Christian bias throughout the federal government. .@USTreasury will continue to utilize its authority to end t…
Amid the impact of Economic Fury, Iran’s currency has hit an all-time low. The Iranian people deserve a new era, which the corrupt and shambolic Iranian regime cannot provide. With their oil industry closing and their currency plummeting, it is past time for the Iranian regime…
This morning, I convened talks with Vice Premier He Lifeng to discuss @POTUS’ upcoming travel to China. Our meeting was both candid and comprehensive, and I stressed that China’s recent provocative extraterritorial regulations have a chilling effect on global supply chains. I l…
It is unusual for soon-to-be-former Fed Chair Jay Powell to stay on at the @federalreserve. For someone who speaks so often of norms, his unilateral decision to stay flies in the face of tradition. Kevin Warsh will bring about a new day at the Fed, with accountability, managemen…
The Treasury Department, through Economic Fury, has targeted Iran’s international shadow banking infrastructure, access to crypto, shadow fleet, weapons procurement networks, funding for terrorist proxies in the region, and independent Chinese “teapot” refineries that support Ira…
Iran’s shadow banking system serves as a critical financial lifeline for its armed forces, enabling activities that disrupt global trade and fuel violence across the Middle East. Illicit funds funneled through this network support the regime’s ongoing terrorist operations, posing…
While the surviving IRGC Leaders are trapped like drowning rats in a sewage pipe, Iran’s creaking oil industry is starting to shut in production thanks to the U.S. BLOCKADE. Pumping will soon collapse. GASOLINE SHORTAGES IN IRAN NEXT!
Community Development Financial Institutions play a critical role in expanding access to capital in underserved communities. Today, @USTreasury announced that is has initiated a review of certified CDFIs to identify potential violations of applicable law or CDFI requirements. CD…
Doing business with sanctioned Iranian airlines risks exposure to U.S. sanctions. Foreign governments should take all actions necessary to ensure that companies in their jurisdictions do not provide services to those aircraft, including the provision of jet fuel, catering, landin…
The United States is home to the most talented AI researchers in the world. Instead of harnessing American innovation, Senator Sanders is inviting foreign nationals to tell the United States how to regulate AI. It would be like channeling Hugo Chavez to get advice on how to run…
Last Friday, I held good talks with European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security @MarosSefcovic. During our discussions, we addressed the new U.S.-EU Action Plan for Critical Minerals, as well as progress made on the 2025 EU-U.S. Joint Statement, including significant E…
