#TeamSPB report on the emergency supplemental appropriations law President Biden recently signed that provides $95.3 billion in military aid to U.S. allies and requires the divestiture of certain social media applications. This legislation materially changes U.S. sanctions law by extending the amount of time that regulators and prosecutors have to investigate and prosecute civil and criminal sanctions violations from five to 10 years. What is the scope and impact of the change, and what are the key next steps? ➡️ https://ow.ly/KLV350RMRL1 #ForeignPolicy | #SanctionsLaw | #RegulatoryChanges

The Russian Federation has banned 227 Americans from entering its territory. The ban applies to those involved in conceiving, carrying out and justifying the anti-Russia policy adopted by the current administration of the United States, as well as those directly involved in anti-Russia undertakings. The decision is part of retaliatory measures in response to the massive and constantly expanding list of sanctions imposed by the American government on Russian citizens for supporting the Kremlin and the special military operation. https://lnkd.in/dZcqu-fe #ExportControl #TradeWar #TSECS #SanctionsUpdate #TurkishSociety #Sanctions #USA #OFAC #BIS #TradeUpdates #GlobalTrade #TradeCompliance #InternationalRelations #EconomicSanctions #TradeRegulations #TurkishExports #TradePolicy #SecurityMatters #ForeignPolicy #ComplianceNews #EconomicSecurity #CrossBorderBusiness

On April 24, 2024, President Biden signed into law a 110-page legislative package that extended the statute of limitations for violations of IEEPA and TWEA; provided military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan; set the stage for the banning of TikTok, and provided authorities for the eventual confiscation of Russian government assets.    Less reported on are the whopping 37 new “secondary sanctions” and other targeting criteria imposed through eight different statutes within the legislation, almost all most which are effective immediately, even though OFAC will likely not implement them in regulations or provide guidance on them for some time.    Keep track of these 37 new bases for sanctions and nearly 700 others with OverRuled’s OFAC Targeting Tool, which allows users to sort through a comprehensive database of all secondary sanctions and other targeting criteria and retrieve relevant provisions in an instant. #ofac, #sanctions, #overruled

In the wake of yesterday’s Federal indictment against senior Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar - revealing a vast Azerbaijani criminal scheme to manipulate US policy - President Biden must: - Freeze diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan, recalling our Ambassador, and immediately suspending all bilateral programs. - Roll back his reckless waiver of Sec. 907 sanctions on US aid to Azerbaijan’s authoritarian regime - fully enforcing this longstanding provision of the FREEDOM Support Act. - Launch a Department of Justice (Special Counsel) investigation into the Aliyev regime’s efforts to manipulate the Biden Administration into abetting the genocide of Armenians, including by green-lighting US military aid to the corrupt Azerbaijani dictatorship.

Now, expanding its relentless bombardment, it has killed more than 2,400 Lebanese people, carrying out massacres and mass forced displacement in Lebanon, and dragging the entire region into full-blown war. The grief, sorrow, and pain is endless. And it is funded and enabled by the Biden administration, which continues to arm the Israeli government. Congress must intervene. For the first time in U.S. history, there will be a vote in Congress to block weapons to Israel. Senators Bernie Sanders, Peter Welch, and Jeff Merkley have introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop a $20 billion weapons shipment approved by the Biden administration. Call your Senators immediately and tell them to block these weapons, and to support a full arms embargo on the Israeli government to save lives.
