Trump’s export control actions on the day of his inauguration signify changes in U.S. foreign policy and national security priorities. These actions include reimposition of sanctions, rescinding of sanctions, designation of cartels and other organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.
Cartels Designated Terrorist Organizations
International cartels such as such as Tren de Aragua, La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and various drug cartels in Mexico have a history of engaging in violence and terror throughout the Western hemisphere and as such are a threat to the security of the United States. As such, the Trump administration has established a policy to ensure the total elimination of these organizations within the U.S. These organizations will now be designated on the Specially Designated List (SDN) which is published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This action will block the organization’s access to U.S. assets and prohibit transactions with U.S. persons.
International Criminal Court Sanctions
An executive order was signed by President Donald Trump that imposes sanctions on officials in the International Criminal Court involved in creating an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This action revokes the removal of these sanctions by President Biden in his final days in office.
Sanctions Reinstated Against Cuba
President Biden, in the last week of his administration, signed executive orders removing Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. President Trump has revoked this order by reinstating Cuba on this list.
Sanctions Removed for Israeli West Bank Settlers
President Trump has removed sanctions imposed on Israeli West Bank settlers accused of acts of violence against Palestinians. These sanctions had been invoked in reaction to reports of Jewish settlers setting fires to Palestinian vehicles and properties. These actions were reported to have occurred during the war in Gaza which has just entered into a cease fire agreement.
