United States: US takes aim at financial institutions with new Russia sanctions authority

U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order threatening penalties for financial institutions aiding Russia in circumventing sanctions. The order provides the U.S. with the ability to expand import bans on certain Russian goods, including seafood and diamonds. It aims to send a clear message that anyone supporting Russia's war effort risks losing access to the U.S. financial system.
