Finance minister discusses security amid US talks
The Bahraini Minister of Finance, Sheikh Salman bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, had a phone call with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. During the call, they discussed the U.S. announcement of a "comprehensive economic initiative" and strengthening the partnership between the two countries to face regional security threats and international trade challenges. The Bahraini minister emphasized the importance of secure maritime passages, especially the Strait of Hormuz, and rejected its use as a tool for economic pressure or blackmail. He stressed that targeting commercial navigation harms global markets and increases costs for producers and consumers. He also highlighted the need to cut off funding sources targeting the people and vital facilities, and to continue international cooperation to address security and economic challenges, including countering terrorism financing and expanding efforts to confront Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
