Scott Bessent: “The American people gave this Administration a clear mandate to restore our nation’s prosperity—lower taxes, bigger…”

We are giving everyone the opportunity to remedy bad behavior," Bessent said.

This administration will not tolerate blatant abuse of our financial system, nor will it permit risks posed by the extension of financial services to illegal aliens.

Let there be no ambiguity as to the position of the United States: an economic engagement of any kind with this murderous regime will expose those responsible to the full reach of American power.

If you insist on doing business with them—either transferring money, buying oil, doing seaborne ship transport—then the US Treasury and the US government, they will put its full might and force towards enforcing against you.
