The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is "not in a rush" to extend a tariff and critical minerals trade truce with China that ends in November, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/20/world/us-china-trade-truce-bessent/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #scottbessent #us #donaldtrump #china #trade #tariffs

Pide EU sanciones globales contra terrorismo y el Cártel de Sinaloa

Las medidas anunciadas buscan ampliar la cooperación global contra redes vinculadas con lavado de dinero y financiamiento ilícito.

El secretario del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos (EU), Scott Bessent, llamó a gobiernos aliados a reforzar acciones internacionales contra el financiamiento del terrorismo y las redes criminales vinculadas al narcotráfico, entre ellas el Cártel de Sinaloa. El funcionario participó en la conferencia internacional “No al financiamiento del terrorismo” del Grupo de los Siete (G7), realizada en París, Francia, donde pidió mayor coordinación financiera y política entre naciones.

Durante su intervención, Bessent sostuvo que Estados Unidos enfrentó amenazas globales vinculadas a organizaciones terroristas y estructuras financieras clandestinas. El funcionario afirmó que las redes de financiamiento operaron mediante empresas fantasma instaladas en Europa, sistemas bancarios ilegales en Oriente Medio y organizaciones criminales activas en el hemisferio occidental.

El secretario del Tesoro estadounidense afirmó que las sanciones económicas representaron instrumentos de presión internacional para modificar conductas y frenar operaciones ilegales. También indicó que las medidas financieras no buscaron aislar permanentemente a países o individuos, sino acelerar cambios de comportamiento mediante acciones específicas y focalizadas.

Presión financiera internacional

En la conferencia celebrada en París, Scott Bessent aseguró que la administración encabezada por Donald Trump revisó el esquema de sanciones internacionales para adaptarlo a los nuevos mecanismos financieros utilizados por organizaciones terroristas. Explicó que el Departamento del Tesoro revisó designaciones consideradas obsoletas con el objetivo de fortalecer la vigilancia sobre redes de evasión financiera y lavado de dinero.

El funcionario estadounidense manifestó que las sanciones prolongadas sin resultados tangibles provocaron efectos colaterales difíciles de prever. También indicó que las medidas más efectivas fueron aquellas aplicadas con objetivos concretos, duración limitada y capacidad de generar presión directa sobre actores específicos involucrados en financiamiento ilícito.

Bessent sostuvo que el combate al terrorismo exigió coordinación permanente entre gobiernos aliados y organismos financieros internacionales. Añadió que la cooperación internacional permitió detectar operaciones clandestinas relacionadas con grupos extremistas, empresas fachada y estructuras bancarias utilizadas para transferencias ilegales. –sn–

"What if the blueprint for all of it, the specific structures, the specific mechanisms, the specific argument for why Saudi Arabia needed to escape the Western banking system and anchor itself at the center of a new global financial order, was drawn up in the summer of 2016 by Jeffrey Epstein, writing emails to the senior adviser of the Saudi Crown Prince?"
