Ms. Mandelker’s experience in senior law enforcement and na- tional security positions equip her with the judgment necessary as Under Secretary to lead Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Finan- cial Intelligence, the TFI, where she would oversee sanctions policy on Iran, Russia, North Korea, Syria, and some 25 other programs, including narcotraffickers, nuclear proliferators, and the like. Ms. Mandelker would also lead on the Nation’s anti-money laundering efforts and other illicit financial threats. As Assistant Secretary, Mr.

  • Trump and Trade Updates – April 2017
    Trump and Trade Updates – April 2017 Commerce Moves to Review China’s “Nonmarket Economy” Status 4/3/17 – The Trump administration on April 3, 2017 issued a notice of initiation and request for public comment and information pertaining to whether the People’s Republic of China (PRC) should continue to be treated as a nonmarket economy (NME) country under the antidumping and countervailing duty laws. The notice in the Federal Register indicates that this inquiry is part of the Department of Commerce’s less-than-fair-value investigation of certain aluminum foil from the PRC. The notice states that the Department of Commerce has treated the PRC as an NME country in all past antidumping duty investigations and administrative reviews. Yet, under the agreement with the PRC regarding its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the PRC believes that WTO members were required to begin treating it as a market economy in December 2016. The department is conducting this inquiry in order to obtain the most recent data and information available from U.S. industry, and the notice states that U.S. law allows it to review the PRC's nonmarket economy status "at any time." The timing of this notice is interesting, given that Chinese President Xi Jinping is traveling to the United States for talks later this week. Draft Notice to Congress Indicates Intent to Begin Renegotiating NAFTA 4/3/17 – In a draft letter to the Senate and House of Representatives, the Trump administration appeared closer to formally announcing and notifying Congress of its intent to begin renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

    441 G St. N.W. Washington, DC 20548 November 15, 2017 The Honorable Jay Clayton Chairman United States Securities and Exchange Commission Financial Audit: Securities and Exchange Commission’s Fiscal Years 2017 and 2016 Financial Statements Dear Mr. Clayton: This report transmits the GAO auditor’s report on the results of our audits of the fiscal years 2017 and 2016 financial statements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and its Investor Protection Fund (IPF),1 which is incorporated in the enclosed U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Fiscal Year 2017 Agency Financial Report. As discussed more fully in the auditor’s report that begins on page 57 of the enclosed agency financial report, we found • the financial statements of SEC and its IPF as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; • SEC maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting for SEC and for IPF as of September 30, 2017; and • no reportable noncompliance for fiscal year 2017 with provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements we tested. The Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002 requires that SEC annually prepare and submit audited financial statements to Congress and the Office of Management and Budget.2 The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended in 2010 by section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

  • The People Shaping the Trump Administration
    The People Shaping the Trump Administration Despite Running on a Pledge to ‘Drain the Swamp’ and Crack Down on Special Interests, Donald Trump Has Filled His Transition Team With Lobbyists and Others With Potential Conflicts November 16, 2016 – Donald Trump rode to the White House by raging about alleged rampant corruption in Washington and pledging to “drain the swamp.” Each of the five points in the ethics platform he issued in October focused on diminishing the influence of lobbyists.1 These included a promise to impose a five-year ban on former executive branch officials lobbying the federal government. Trump further promised to crack down on special interest-influence by expanding the definition of lobbyist to include consultants and others who trade on inside government information and expertise.2 But Trump’s nascent transition team, which will shape his administration, is swarming with lobbyists and other special interests. Many of the lobbyists are working for the transition on areas for which they currently are lobbying the federal government. Meanwhile, many of those who aren’t lobbyists appear to have potential conflicts of interest. Vice president-elect Mike Pence reportedly said on November 15 that the transition team would be purged of lobbyists, but the transition team has not made the point official.3 Even if true, that remedy would not address cases such as a defense contractor working on defense interests, or a lawyer for health care interests working on health care reform. Here are brief summaries of individuals who have been reported in the media as overseeing agencies or policies for Trump’s transition team.
