On the latest episode of EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim are joined by special guests Sue Millar (Stephenson Harwood) and Tom Stocker (Pinsent Masons) to dive deep on what’s happening in the U.K. now that Brexit is (sort of) behind us. Topics include U.K. sanctions and export controls policy, the future of U.K.-U.S. and U.K.-EU trade relations, possible new U.K. approaches to Iran, China, and Russia, and the rise of OFSI as a sanctions enforcer to be reckoned with. Then, in the Lightning Round, we quickly touch on the new Burma sanctions program, a full U.S. reversal on Yemen, and the (possible) death knell for the TikTok and WeChat EOs.
Thanks to our guests Sue Millar and Tom Stocker.

Because there is never a dull moment in the world of economic sanctions, Brian and Tim dive deep on possible U.S. responses to the military coup in Myanmar and how China looms large in that decision. Next, we discuss early signals from the Biden Administration on its approach to the Venezuela sanctions program, and we examine the potential impact of a lawsuit from Xiaomi challenging its recent designation as a Communist Chinese military company. Finally, in the Lightning Round, we briefly touch on the new U.S. approach to Yemen and spend a few minutes wondering whether the CFIUS SWAT Team is coming after us.

Following President Biden’s inauguration, Brian and Tim look back at the chaotic final two weeks of the Trump administration to examine the flurry of trade and foreign policy actions taken on the way out the door. In Lightning Round fashion, we cover: Cuba’s re-designation as a State Sponsor of Terror, statements about China committing genocide, more actions targeting the crackdown in Hong Kong, a few final pokes in the eye to Iran, the imprisonment of Alexei Navalny and a possible new era for sanctions targeting Russia, designations impacting the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, an amended (but still ambiguous) E.O. relating to publicly traded securities of CCMCs, provocative moves relating to Taiwan and the South China Sea, and a brand new regulatory regime meant to protect the ICTS supply chain from foreign adversaries.

EMBARGOED! kicks off 2021 with somber reflections on the riot at the U.S. Capitol before pivoting to (what else?) China to consider the new E.O. targeting AliPay, WeChat Pay, and other Chinese apps, the official arrival of BIS’s MEU List, and the latest guidance from OFAC relating to securities investments in Chinese Military Companies. After that, Brian and Tim check in on the latest developments in a rare North Korea sanctions prosecution in SDNY and then wrap up, in the Lightning Round, by briefly covering a successful court challenge to the ICC-related sanctions program and the passage of expanded Nord Stream 2 sanctions.
