This week on EMBARGOED!, Brian and Tim cover three of their favorite topics: Russia, Iran, and China. First, they discuss the latest U.S. threat to deploy Huawei-style foreign direct product rule restrictions on exports to Russia. Next, they consider whether it is truly now or never for JCPOA 2.0 and, then, contemplate the future of DOJ’s China Initiative in the wake of a high-profile dismissal. Finally, in the Lightning Round, Brian and Tim go below deck to provide some perspective on recent developments in a Helms-Burton lawsuit targeting major players in the cruise industry and share some quick thoughts on the new U.S. government advisory regarding Burma (Myanmar).
