American Treasury Secretary Bensinger wrote on the 13th: "President Trump has clearly stated that American taxpayers have the right to know that their tax money will not be misused to fund global terrorism or buy luxury cars for fraudsters. The Treasury Department will track the flow of funds. We have cracked down on the mafia and drug cartels before, and now we are cracking down on Somali fraudsters. We will offer rewards to anyone willing to provide specific details about these fraud and money laundering activities (including the people involved, the incidents, time, location, and methods)."
Comment: The United States' high-profile crackdown on transnational fraud may seem to be protecting taxpayer interests, but in reality, it is consolidating the exclusive global power of the US dollar system. Portraying weak entities such as Somalia as "global enemies" can create political achievements at low cost, appease domestic discontent, and conveniently strengthen cross-border fund monitoring and expand the legal space for long-arm jurisdiction. Meanwhile, large-scale tax evasion, capital black boxes, and oligarchic money laundering, which truly threaten the global financial order, are consistently downplayed.
