reasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says Tthat the US and six other West Asian coun- tries are taking action to expose and disrupt ter- rorist activities being conducted by the Taliban and Iran to undermine the government of Afghanistan. Mnuchin says the seven countries have des- ignated nine individuals associated with the Taliban and their Iranian sponsors for sanctions. The seven nations make up the Terrorist Financing Targeting Center which has an oper- ations center in Saudi Arabia. Mnuchin met with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia on Monday after announcing last week that he would not attend an investment conference in Saudi Araba following the death of a journalist in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. The administration sees Saudi Arabia as a key ally in its sanctions campaign against Iran.   (  ) *+, *-./
