Global Trade Talks: Expanded U.S. Sanctions and Export Control Authorities Included in the Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan Aid Bills

Podcast | 05.13.24

Global Trade Talks is a podcast that shares brief perspectives on key global issues on international trade, current events, business, law, and public policy as they impact our lives. In this session, hosts and International Trade Practice Leaders Nicole Simonian and Dj Wolff talk with Crowell lawyers Jeremy Iloulian and Laurel Saito about the significant new sanctions and export control authorities included in the recently enacted National Security Supplemental fiscal package.
