According to The Economist, these sanctions were part of the reason for Gertler’s close friend, then-President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Joseph Kabila, decision not to run for re-election in 2018. Then, on the eve of Trump’s departure, January 15, 2021, following lobbying by Alan Dershowitz and others, the US Treasury lifted the sanctions on Gertler.
