On this episode of EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim dissect the latest attempt by the U.S. government to hobble Huawei by taking aiming at the telecom giant’s semiconductor supply chain and ponder whether the move will have unintended consequences. Next, we analyze the increasingly realistic prospect of the U.S. unleashing economic sanctions on China. We also check in on Venezuela and the political wrangling over Nynas’s removal from the SDN List before recapping the key points of the U.S. government’s latest sanctions advisory for the maritime industry. Plus, the Lightning Round features enforcement-focused nuggets relating to Iran, Syria, and Cuba.
