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.
Working alongside our law enforcement partners, we will continue to disrupt the cartels' drug trafficking operations and protect our borders.
Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership. Those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime.
We want to make clear here today that no one is above the reach of U.S. sanctions.
