Global Sanctions and Threat Finance

Advancing policies that seek to minimize the funding available to a variety of groups that pose a threat to domestic, international and regional security.

These groups include terrorists and regional insurgencies that conduct illicit financial activities to fund their operations against legitimate governments.

Working with a range of domestic agencies and international partners, the Office of Global Sanctions and Threat Finance (EB/TFS/GST) integrates and leverages the expertise, authorities and resources available within the State Department and the U.S. government to pursue U.S. foreign policy and security objectives in these areas. In addition, GST conducts outreach on threat finance issues to a wide range of interested parties, including foreign governments, NGOs, companies, and others.
