Top U.S. official to discuss terrorism financing in Europe
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Adam Szubin, acting U.S. undersecretary of Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence will visit Italy, Germany and the U.K next week to discuss U.S.-European counter-terrorism finance with government officials, think tanks and business, legal and compliance leaders.
The discussions will include joint efforts against Islamic State and enforcement of sanctions on Russia for its destabilizing actions in Ukraine.
Mr. Szubin will also outline ongoing U.S. preparations for sanctions relief under a nuclear agreement with Iran, while also explaining that some U.S. sanctions will remain on Iran over its support for terrorism and human-rights abuses.
