Designated - Sanctions Warfare in the Next Administration: Juan Zarate

As with the transition of power for every Presidential administration, agendas are rethought, and priorities realigned.  And although America’s global economic and political power is buttressed by the integrity of its markets and sound rule of law, we must still be mindful of evolving methods of economic warfare and continued threats to our national security and economic standing. So what exactly should the incoming Trump administration be focused on and prioritizing?

Juan Zarate was the US counterterrorism czar under President George W. Bush, the first Assistant Secretary at the Treasury Department to oversee Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes, and also authored Treasury’s War: The Unleashing of a New Era of Financial Warfare.  Juan joined Designated host Yaya Jata Fanusie to share his expertise on the risks our adversaries and these massive threats pose to our economic, social, and political lives and how the Trump administration would be best served in addressing them.
