All Lightning, No China | EMBARGOED! Episode 14

On this episode of EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim keep their promise to stay China free (for this week, at least) and change things up to bring you an entire Lightning Round-style episode. With the whole world at our disposal (other than China), we cover the following topics in lightning fashion: the latest U.S. advisory on North Korea, the first U.S. sanctions imposed on the ICC, OFAC's MOU with the State of Delaware, two recent OFAC enforcement actions against an individual and a financial institution, respectively, the latest on Nord Stream 2 and Venezuela, and, finally, a wild card segment featuring our first foray into sanctions trivia. ********* Questions?

EMBARGOED! is intelligent talk about sanctions, export controls, and all things international trade for trade nerds and normal human beings alike, hosted by Miller & Chevalier Members Brian Fleming and Tim O'Toole. Each episode will feature deep thoughts and hot takes about the latest headline-grabbing developments in this area of the law, as well as some below-the-radar items to keep an eye on.
