US Sectoral Sanctions

What's Newest United States Biden victory, and impending January inauguration, presents real questions as to further direction of the Russia sanctions Biden himself has always talked tough on Russia and on Putin (including during this election campaign) And so have his Secretary of State and National Security Advisor nominees (who were Obama Admin. proponents of the sanctions initiation in 2014 and follow-on tightenings) Thus, Biden won't have to "prove" his tough-on-Russia credentials, as Trump has had to... and there's not much talk now of Russian election interference (with Biden's win) but he'll still have to avoid being/appearing as soft on Russia Wild card factors Senate still likely to be Republican-controlled (pending Georgia run-off results in early January) Democrats in Congress have been relatively more sanctions-happy (blaming Russia for Trump's 2016 victory etc.) - will this calm down at all now, or not? And of course, depends in no small part on Russia's actions going forward Pending/possible new sanctions in Trump's remaining term? New laws? (though seems unlikely) - see slide 69 possible revival / adjustment / passage of DASKA Act (DASKAA), latest draft from Dec. 2019 further tough sanctions package proposed in June 2020 by Task Force of Republican Study Comm.
