US Plans New Bank Sanctions to Increase Economic Pressure on Iran Ahead of G20
The Trump administration plans to impose sanctions on another bank this week to intensify economic pressure on Iran, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said ahead of the G20 meetings. The campaign aims to isolate Iran financially by urging countries to sever ties or face U.S. retaliation. While the Emirati branches of Egypt's Banque Misr face potential restrictions, the U.S. is cautious about penalizing major trading partners like China and India. Bessent also called for G20 cooperation on trade imbalances with China and emphasized efforts to promote global economic growth amid ongoing tensions.
