The second-in-command at the Treasury Department said the agency is primed to step up its enforcement efforts regarding sanctions and export controls announced against Russia in the year since the country invaded Ukraine.
Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said in remarks delivered Tuesday the agency and its international counterparts are “planning to launch a renewed effort to rigorously enforce the sanctions and export controls we’ve already put in place” regarding Russia.
