U.S. official meets in Lebanon over anti-Hezbollah sanctions
Lebanon's central bank governor says a senior U.S. Treasury official is visiting Beirut to explain the motives behind recent U.S. sanctions targeting Lebanon's Iranian-backed Hezbollah group.
Treasury Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing, Marshall Billingslea met Monday with the prime minister, parliament speaker and the central bank governor.
Last month, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Jammal Trust Bank and added it to its list of global terrorist organizations.
