Notes:

1) The Secretary of the Treasury's remarks contain a number of notable statements concerning the second Trump Administration’s strategy concerning the use of sanctions in general (immediate maximum impact), reluctance to overuse them given negative effects on “the US dollar’s supremacy,” as well as indications concerning Iran-related secondary sanctions strategy and focus (We will close off Iran's access to the international financial system by targeting regional parties that facilitate the transfer of its revenues. Treasury is prepared to engage in frank discussions with these countries.).
