Sanctions Environment

Presidents have long used sanctions as a foreign policy tool. One question business leaders are grappling with is how the sanctions environment will change in a Biden administration. While there will likely be some continuity with the current sanctions approach, there will also be differences, including, potentially:

• Greater collaboration with Japan and South Korea regarding China
• Partnering with the EU in a possible resumption of nuclear negotiations with Iran
• Continued focus on human rights violations and corresponding Global Magnitsky Sanctions
• A rolling back of certain restrictions on Cuba.
• An expectation of continuity on policy and sanctions relating to North Korea and Venezuela
