I'm not sure why you think the assets of the Vatican cannot be seized. Here's some of the text of the EO
I, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America, find that the ability of persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States to interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorized accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
It just reads persons outside the United States. That covers the Vatican, no?
I wasn't clear. I was referring to the money. Liquid assets. As long as they are inside the vatican bounderies.
Thank you for clarifying. But why do you think the money cannot be seized? Genuinely interested in your thought.
Unless we attack and take over a sovereign country (The Vatican) then we can't go in and confiscate their money. As long as the money is housed inside the Vatican bounderies it is legally untouchable. However, hard assets like real estate, etc they own outside this sovereign boundery is a completely different story. We can take all of that. Every last square inch. And my guess, we will. Once their involvement in human trafficking and slavery (Pedo biz) then it's all fair game.
oic, so this would apply to every country, not just the Vatican.
