Treasury Official Named Presidential Envoy for Arms Control

Marshall Billingslea, the Treasury Department's former assistant secretary for terrorist financing, was named the special presidential envoy for arms control, the State Department said April 10. In the role, Billingslea will lead U.S. arms control negotiations, which will include a “new era” of arms control that “moves beyond the bilateral treaties of the past,” the State Department said. Billingslea has staunchly defended the U.S. sanctions and its maximum pressure campaign against Iran (see 1909130064).
