Understanding Economic Sanctions & Foreign Assets Control
The landscape of international regulations and economic policies can be complex and ever-changing. Among the critical areas of interest are the regulations surrounding economic sanctions and foreign assets control. These regulations are vital tools for achieving foreign policy and national security goals in the United States.
Economic sanctions are authorized under laws such as the Trading with the Enemy Act and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, among others. These laws allow the U.S. to impose embargoes and prohibit financial transactions as a response to international situations. Specifically, the President has the power to block foreign assets during emergencies, actions which the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) within the U.S. Department of Treasury implements. Learn more about OFAC.
