The U.S. Treasury Department has sent formal letters to two unidentified Chinese banks warning of secondary sanctions if they continue to facilitate Iranian money flows. China currently purchases approximately 90% of Iran's oil exports, accounting for 8% of China's total energy needs. The U.S. blockade in the Straits is expected to cause a significant pause in these transactions.

The US Treasury Department has temporarily eased sanctions on Russian oil to lower domestic gas prices, a move criticized by Senator Adam Schiff as rewarding an adversary. The discussion suggests a deeper strategy involving the use of US Treasury-backed stablecoins for international oil trades. This digital dollar approach is framed as a way to maintain the petrodollar's influence despite geopolitical instability.

President Trump signed The Genius Act into law, providing regulatory clarity for the stablecoin industry. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant stated the bill aims to buttress the dollar's status as a global reserve currency by creating an internet-native payment rail.

The hosts discuss how this could flood the world with digital dollars to support the $37 trillion national debt.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew expressed outrage over the European Commission's ruling against Apple, arguing the move infringes on American tax jurisdiction. Critics point to Lew's history as a former Citigroup executive during the 2008 financial crisis as context for his protective stance toward multinational corporations. The U.S. government fears the EU ruling will allow companies to offset European payments against American tax liabilities, reducing domestic revenue.

### Toyota Trucks in ISIS Propaganda and US Treasury Inquiry

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/763-transjester/chapter/toyota-trucks-in-isis-propaganda-and-us-treasury-inquiry.md

The US Treasury Department has asked Toyota to help explain how ISIS acquired hundreds of brand-new Hilux pickups and Land Cruisers seen in propaganda videos. ABC News' Brian Ross reported on the "truck of choice" for terrorists, while Toyota claimed it cannot control indirect or black-market sales. The hosts suggest the sudden media focus on Toyota is a coordinated effort to protect the American auto industry or exert economic pressure on the Japanese automaker.

Euroclear, a Belgium-based clearinghouse, has significantly increased its holdings of U.S. Treasuries, adding $40.2 billion over five months. This surge in Belgian ownership of U.S. debt occurs as other nations like Russia and China reduce their holdings, leading to questions about whether the U.S. is indirectly purchasing its own debt through European intermediaries.
