U.S. Department of the Treasury

President @realDonaldTrump continues to make the world safer, today reaching a historic peace deal with Iran. His leadership, along with his direct engagement with allies and adversaries alike, will be recorded in history books for centuries to come.

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 employment of illegal aliens. Texas community banks see firsthand the challenges and pressures that illegal immigration places on local communities and the financial system, making them key partners in identifying risks and protecting the integrity of our banking sector. The Trump Administration will always fight to protect our borders, defend American workers, and preserve the integrity of our financial institutions.

Happy Birthday, @POTUS. As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of freedom, strength, and exceptionalism, your America First leadership is exactly what this moment demands. Here's to another year of Making America Great Again.

The @realDonaldTrump economy is creating a record number of private-sector jobs, fueled in large part by the historic Working Families Tax Cuts. Naysayers attempting to credit the World Cup can thank President Trump for bringing it back to America, just as he is bringing back manufacturing jobs, energy dominance, and American industry.

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 fraud before it spreads. Under @POTUS and @VP Vance’s leadership, we will continue targeting fraud wherever it occurs and protecting American taxpayers and consumers. Read more in @FinCENNews’ updated guidance, which we announced today in Houston:

.@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 dominance. Energy is the foundational layer of all economic activity and the fuel of human flourishing. Energy dominance is back. The age of managed decline is over. And we are just getting started.

Thank you, @FLOTUS Melania Trump, for joining us at @USTreasury and for your leadership on behalf of America’s children, specifically foster youth. Through the partnership between Fostering the Future and @TrumpAccounts, we are helping ensure that foster youth have the same opportunity to build long-term financial security as every eligible child in America. Thanks to the First Lady’s advocacy, foster children are being included in this historic initiative from day one—affirming that a child’s future should be defined by their potential, not their circumstances. Together, we are expanding opportunity, strengthening the American Dream, and investing in the next generation.

.@SecScottBessent: “Today, in the place where Hamilton’s legacy surrounds us, we are extending the reach of this institution to the young people whom his wife devoted herself to defending. We are affirming that the American Dream belongs to every child. And because of the President and Mrs. Trump, through her Fostering the Future Initiative, we are equipping more children to claim their rightful share of it.”

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. Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.

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 information on our adversaries including Iran and Hamas. Congressional Democrats should stop playing politics with the safety and security of the American people.

Today, @SecScottBessent hosted @NFIB and small business owners to hear their perspectives on the strength of America’s Main Street economy and the tax relief delivered this past tax filing season. Participants shared how @POTUS' Working Families @TaxCuts and pro-growth tax policies are delivering benefits for both workers and local job creators.

Through Economic Fury, the Treasury Department is disrupting the foreign procurement networks that support the Iranian military’s efforts to acquire weapons. Treasury has frozen the Iranian regime’s assets, severely disrupted its economy, and dismantled the Iranian war machine. Treasury will not tolerate any support of the Iranian military.

Today, as part of Economic Fury, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned nine individuals and entities that have supported weapons procurement on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics. Treasury continues to aggressively target the overseas procurement and financial networks that sustain Iran’s weapons production and proliferation capabilities.

Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is designating a network of individuals, entities, and vessels responsible for shipping hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian-origin liquid petroleum gas⸺intentionally disguised as Omani LPG⸺to end users in South and East Asia.

Today, Treasury’s @FinCENnews issued an Advisory urging financial institutions to be vigilant against risks presented by the unlawful employment of illegal aliens. This is the first step in implementing @POTUS’ historic Executive Order entitled Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System.
