A general definition that allows the President power to conduct sanctions according to the governments understanding of financial resources.
Donald Trump made the USA less safe. That is all he did. When he set a dividing line between the USA and NATO it opened up the possibility Europe was alone in it's national defense departments. Measuring USA involvement through the lens of a businessman is a horrid and a disaster. Billionaires, as evidence by Trump, have the wrong focus to USA policy.
Trump thinks he can make a political speech and all will be right with the world. He is very wrong and never bothered to look at allies to their concerns when the USA would pull out of an international agreement. He broke the agreement, hence, international law.

Italian Finance Minister Pier Carlo Padoan (click here) underlined willingness of his country's companies to increase investment and cooperation with Iran in different arenas.
Padoan made the remarks in a meeting with his Iranian counterpart Massoud Karbasiyan on the sidelines of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) meeting in Washington on Friday.
During the meeting, he also stressed the necessity for the expansion of financial cooperation between the two countries to develop mutual technical ties and cooperation.
Karbasiyan, for his part, referred to the increased volume of exchanges between the two countries in the first half of 2017, and underscored the need for the further broadening of bilateral economic relations....
Under Trump the USA is turning into an isolationist state.
Iran's Intelligence Minister Seyyed Mahmoud Alavi (click here) blasted US President for his remarks against Iran and the nuclear deal, stressing that Washington has grown more isolated by opposition to an internationally-endorsed agreement.
"Donald Trump's remarks further isolated the US and such cheap behavior will leave no impact on the Iranian people's tranquility and trust in the Islamic Republic," Alavi said on Saturday.
He added that Trump's remarks will further increase unity and convergence among the Iranian people and lead them to further support for the country's defensive bodies, specially the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
His remarks came after US President Donald Trump delivered a speech on Friday, outlining Washington's strategy on Iran.
The US president refused to certify the 2015 international nuclear agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany, and warned that he might ultimately terminate it, in defiance of other world powers and undermining a landmark victory of multilateral diplomacy.
Trump said he would choose not to certify that Tehran is complying with the nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)....
The JCPOA does not need the USA to keep the agreement alive. As a matter of fact, Iran now has reason to act against the USA in courts of law. Iran is in compliance and the USA IS NOT.
So, if Trump thinks he is saving money by freezing monies for the USA Treasury owed to Iran, he is not. As a matter of fact, monies belonging to Iran that the USA may still be in possession of will begin to build interest and the USA will owe Iran all that much more.
Trump can't declare Chapter 11 on behalf of the USA. It doesn't work that way. The USA deficit will continue to grow with greater amounts of interest owed to Iran until the IMF steps in and then the USA economy will suffer. Trump is such a joke on this country. Money and wealth should never be the icon of the USA, but, it is quickly taking on that image. It is a darn shame what is happening to the USA with the past elections. Trump is following the Russian plan for the USA.
When no ally can trust the outcomes of a USA treaty and agreement and the country has taken on the image of a Banana Republic, there will be less and less value of America. Europe has no choice today, but, to take stock of it's alliance with the USA and reassess it's singular standing in the world.

Iran's President Hassan Rouhani (click here) rapped the US administration for a probable decertifying of the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and the world powers, and underlined the necessity for the EU to play a more active role to keep the agreement alive.
"I hope that all EU member states, including Norway, would play their constructive role in maintaining this agreement and using opportunities for cooperation," Rouhani said in a meeting with the new Norwegian ambassador to Tehran on Saturday.
Also in a separate meeting with the new Swiss envoy to Iran, President Rouhani stressed the need for strengthening the path of talks as a basis for resolving the problems in the world, and said, "No doubt history, the world and the American people will make better a judgment in the future and realize that the path chosen by the current statesmen has been fruitless and wrong."
"Today, we are in highly sensitive and important conditions and these conditions are not sensitive just for Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany), but its impacts are felt in the entire region and the world because the nuclear deal created more tranquility in the world and the region," he added.
He said Iran will continue cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and vowed that Tehran will comply with the agreement as long as the other side remains committed to their undertakings.
His remarks came after US President Donald Trump delivered a speech on Friday, outlining US strategy on Iran.

Donald Trump has just wasted billions of diplomatic efforts. He simply threw away enormous amounts of work and MONEY in making a glib decision to play politics with global security.
