President Joe Biden s efforts to rescue and ultimately reshape the U.S. economy may be getting most of the attention, but his administration has also been busy on the international front, in large part by expanding and adjusting the vast net of sanctions that the U.S. imposes on countries and individuals around the world.
In his first weeks in office, Biden imposed new sanctions on individuals in Russia over interference in U.S. elections; on generals in Myanmar for their overthrowing a democratically elected government; on Saudi Arabian nationals involved in the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi; on Chinese officials for undermining Hong Kong s democracy movement and human rights abuses against the country s Uyghur minority; and against an Israeli businessman accused of corruption.
