I think it is important that we have a robust regional bank and community bank system.

Some have described the banking environment as size equals survival.

Treasury plays a critical role by administering sanctions and protecting the U.S. financial system.

I am particularly concerned about the overexposure of German banks and what this means for U.S. financial institutions.

In fact, I wrote you in January right after the vote in the U.K. Parliament regarding Brexit.

Secretary Mnuchin, you must explain these decisions in your public testimony today and address several other important issues. I expect you to be forthcoming with this committee.
