00:00I'm going to go off script for a minute, which is always dangerous, but I'm going to remind everyone in
00:04this room and all the media that I was the subject of an assassination attempt February 2024 by an adult
00:13left-wing activist two hours after being sworn into my job.
00:18So any of you who want to report that this is a fiction and does not exist, be there for
00:25the sentencing this August.
00:28So good morning. Thank you, Secretary Rubio, for convening this ministerial and for the invitation to be here.
00:34We are here together because the resurgence of political terrorism, transnational in design, and far left in doctrine is no
00:42longer the concern of any one nation.
00:45It demands a response that draws upon the distinct and combined strengths of every government represented here today.
00:53Every government. Ours begins where every campaign of terror does.
00:58It's financial lifeblood, and at President Trump's direction, the United States Treasury is bringing the full weight of our authorities
01:07to defend the integrity of the U.S. global financial systems.
01:11More than 20 years ago, in the wake of 9-11, Treasury became the first finance ministry in the world
01:19to establish an office dedicated to disrupting the funding networks of terrorist organizations.
01:26Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, referred to as TFI, was created in recognition of the reality that America's
01:37financial system is essential to its national security.
01:41TFI's mandate to identify, disrupt, and disable illicit foreign funds that threaten our homeland has become one of the Treasury's
01:51defining responsibilities.
01:53And today, we are extending that abiding mission to meet an evolving threat.
01:59The resurgence of organized political terrorism has long occupied a blind spot.
02:05The international community has struggled to identify this danger, much less defeat it.
02:11But as the threat of terrorism evolves, the institution tools that defend against it must adapt.
02:18We once understood terrorism principally as an external menace that is no longer the world we inhabit.
02:25Increasingly, we are confronting sophisticated, organized networks across borders to incite violence within them.
02:32Meanwhile, old ideological boundaries are now giving way to new operational alliances.
02:39On the side of the street are also being Rahman Zweeim into having the best threat
02:39and the right is the right is to protect estudio as to the right is in the right, according to
02:39regulate factors.
02:39Thank you because you recognize the right is the right is the right is the right is the right is
02:39the next thing that meets 10 ShESPE County Crossing
02:40What effectors do you want the right is talking to bad we've got to?
