US sanctions Syria’s central bank chief, intel head
The Trump administration sanctioned more than a dozen Syrian officials and entities in its latest push to choke off the regime's financial network.
The United States today imposed a new round of sanctions on Syrian officials, including the governor of the Central Bank of Syria, in the Trump administration's latest push to squeeze President Bashar al-Assad of his financial backers.
“The United States will continue to employ all of its tools and authorities to target the finances of anyone who profits from or facilitates the Assad regime’s abuse of the Syrian people,” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said in a statement today.
