介绍:
Facebook's planned Libra cryptocurrency faced further opposition on Monday when the US treasury secretary warned about its potential criminal use.
Steven Mnuchin told a press conference it could be used by "money launderers and terrorist financiers" and said it was a national security issue.
He was "not comfortable" about Libra, joining President Donald Trump and the US central bank in voicing concern.
