Department of Treasury: where to find press releases and recent actions

The Department of Treasury publishes official press releases and a separate list of enforcement “Recent Actions” online; you can find its main news and press-releases index at home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases, which collects statements, readouts and notices.

Treasury’s press-releases page lists full text releases from the Secretary and Treasury offices and is the primary source for Department of the Treasury announcements, including policy statements and event readouts, per the Department’s site.

Sanctions and enforcement steps are published on the Office of Foreign Assets Control “Recent Actions” feed at ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions, which displays designations, list updates and licensing notices related to Treasury sanctions programs.

You can subscribe to email updates from Treasury through its GovDelivery subscription service at public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USTREAS/subscriber/new to get press releases and notices delivered to your inbox, according to the Treasury subscription page.

The Department also posts short updates and links on social platforms — the official account appears as @USTreasury on X — which the Department uses to amplify press releases and call attention to recent actions.

For specialized data and program releases, Treasury publishes separate pages: the Treasury International Capital (TIC) press releases and the TreasuryDirect auction announcements each host topic-specific release archives, and the Press Center groups webcasts, contacts for media, and topical press folders.

If you are following enforcement or sanctions, use OFAC’s “Recent Actions” page to see the latest designations and updates; for wider departmental news, use the Treasury press releases index. For regular delivery, sign up via the Treasury GovDelivery page or follow @USTreasury on social platforms for links and summaries.
