In this joint client alert, Timothy O'Toole, Caroline Watson, Melissa Burgess, and Manuel Levitt,* along with their colleagues at BLOMSTEIN, outline the European Union's (EU) 16th Sanctions Package and examine the increasing daylight in the approaches taken by the U.S. versus the EU, chiefly due to the Trump administration's dramatic shift in foreign policy and diplomacy. The alert provides highlights of the changed dynamics and potential trajectory for U.S. sanctions with respect to Russia.
