Gaffney testifies about financial warfare

On Thursday, May 24, the Center’s President, Frank Gaffney, testified before the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s Subcommittee on Terrorism, Non-Proliferation, and Trade.

Mr. Gaffney spoke about the strategic benefits that could accrue to the U.S. were it to begin using "financial weapons against the states that sponsor terrorism."

This idea of economic warfare lies behind the Center’s Divest Terror initiative, the goal of which is to encourage U.S. states to remove from their pension funds any and all companies that do business with terror-sponsoring countries
