On Tuesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, speaking at a press briefing, outlined the Trump administration’s moves to up their game against terrorism as he and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin discussed the president’s new executive order titled “Modernizing Sanctions to Combat Terrorism” as well as the departure of National Security Advisor John Bolton, who resigned on Tuesday. The two cabinet members firmly stated that Bolton’s departure did not mean the Trump administration would take a softer approach toward the despotic Iranian regime.
Mnuchin started by stating that the administration had designated more than 230 individuals and entities in 2018, the most designation in the last 15 years.
