Around the World in 60 Minutes: Hong Kong, Cuba, Russia, Iran (and China) | EMBARGOED! Episode 34

Brian and Tim check in on a wide range of topics, including the newly issued Hong Kong Business Advisory, the U.S. response to the crackdown in Cuba, the fate of Nord Stream 2, and the (possibly dimming?) prospects for JCPOA 2.0.  Then, in the Lightning Round, we spend a few minutes sharing our thoughts on the first six months of sanctions and export controls enforcement activity under the Biden administration. ********* Questions?
