Secretary Bessent Delivers Remarks Before the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism
US Department of the Treasury
"More than twenty years ago, in the wake of 9/11, Treasury became the first finance ministry in the world to establish an office dedicated to disrupting the funding networks of terrorist organizations. Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, referred to as TFI, was created in recognition of the reality that America’s financial system is essential to its national security. TFI’s mandate to identify, disrupt, and disable illicit foreign funds that threaten our homeland has become one of the Treasury’s defining responsibilities. And today, we are extending that abiding mission to meet an evolving threat."
