After a pomp-filled welcome in Ankara where his NATO allies were at pains to keep him onside, Donald Trump was keen to get down to business

Donald Trump has revived plans to buy Greenland, according to officials close to the discussions.

A deal to purchase the territory is now the US president’s preferred option to end a long-running dispute with Denmark.

The new position would represent a collapse in talks between the two countries regarding enhanced security and US access to the island

Simple account updates shouldn't feel like applying for a security clearance. There has to be a better balance between fraud prevention and customer convenience.

The U.S. bans Iranian oil exports again.

Peace between the United States and Iran still appears far away. The battlefield seems to be defining the limits of diplomacy, not the other way around.

Just 20 days after temporarily easing sanctions as part of the ceasefire framework, Washington has revoked the license allowing Iran to produce, ship, and sell crude oil following a series of attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. Treasury revoked General License X, which had temporarily authorized Iranian exports of crude oil, petroleum products, and petrochemicals through August 21. It has now been replaced by General License X1, beginning the process of ending those permissions.

The decision followed multiple incidents involving commercial vessels over the past 24 hours, further escalating security risks along one of the world's most important energy shipping routes.
Around 20% of global oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making any disruption an immediate concern for global energy markets.

At Treasury, we focus on policies that drive lasting economic growth, strengthen U.S. competitiveness, and ensure both Main Street and Wall Street can thrive. Continued coordination between federal, state, and local partners is key to fostering an environment where businesses can invest, hire, and grow - creating opportunity for workers and communities nationwide.
