Can you guess how many sanctions the US currently has in place? If you guessed in the thousands, you’re right. Here are some of the most prominent ones
These are some of the most prominent sanctions the US has imposed:The Republican-led Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week backed legislation to impose sanctions on Turkey because for its operation against the YPG, the Syrian branch of the PKK terrorist organisation, in Syria and for the purchase of a Russian S-400 missile system.
Ankara responded in 1975 by limiting US use of Incirlik Air Base for NATO-related operations only, restoring full use in 1978 after the US congress voted to lift sanctions.that Turkey may close Incirlik, Kurecik bases 'if necessary' in response to potential future US sanctions against Turkey. Cuba has been one of the longest sanctioned countries by the US. In 1958, the US imposed an arms embargo on Cuba during Fulgencio Batista’s term.
Several foreign companies have suspended commercial activity with the country and Venezuela’s foreign accounts have been closed by Citibank. Trump promised to pull the US out of the deal during his election campaign and that’s exactly what he did after coming into power. The US most recently imposed sanctions on Russian individuals, entities and vessels because of its invasion of Ukraine, its alleged attempted interference in the US election, human rights abuses, usage of chemical weapons and illegal trade with North Korea, as well as its support of Syria and Venezuela.
