The United States has used sanctions extensively to target countries that fail to line up with Washington’s vision of a “rules-based international order.” The departments of state, commerce and Treasury presently have sanctions in place against over two dozen countries around the world.
The US Department of Commerce updated its entities list on Thursday, adding over three dozen companies and entities from China, Georgia, Iran, Malaysia, and Turkey.
