Back from summer vacation, Brian and Tim welcome guest Michael Griffiths of Global Investigations Review (GIR) to discuss his recent survey of U.S. trade practitioners, who were asked to identify the most influential OFAC and BIS enforcement actions of the past few years.  Then, Brian and Tim focus on the top story of the past month, Afghanistan, to forecast what U.S. sanctions policy may look like in the face of Taliban rule and what measures the U.S. may take to avoid a full blown humanitarian crisis. ********* Questions?
