CTFD was also responsible for formulating CT's finance policy and ensuring that it was integrated with the bureau's broader counterterrorism objectives. In carrying out this work, CTFD collaborated with other offices of the State Department and interagency partners to align and strengthen the bureau's diplomatic efforts against terrorist financing and to provide policy input into its counterterrorism finance programs.[2]
On July 1, 2025, the incoming Trump Administration reorganized the State Department and ended the CTFD's designation capacity.[3][4]
