Treasury Secretary Mnuchin: U.S. Still Pursuing "Maximum Pressure" Against Iran
(Reuters) Susan Heavey - The U.S. is still pursuing its campaign of "maximum pressure" against Iran, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC on Thursday. "There's no question it's working," he added. "We have cut off their money, and that's the reason why, if they do come back to the negotiation table, they're coming back. If the president can get the right deal that he's talked about, we'll negotiate with Iran. If not, we'll continue the maximum pressure campaign." Mnuchin also said there is no current plan for President Trump to meet with Iranian President Rouhani at the UN General Assembly in New York later this month.
