Office of Sanctions Policy and Implementation

The Office of Sanctions Policy and Implementation is a part of the U.S. government responsible for developing and managing rules that restrict certain transactions and interactions with specific countries, entities, or individuals. Its goal is to enforce national security and foreign policy objectives by implementing economic sanctions. This office designs policies, coordinates efforts across agencies, and ensures proper enforcement of these restrictions to prevent illegal activities and promote compliance with international standards. Essentially, it helps the U.S. target and pressure entities that pose threats, while maintaining transparency and adherence to established legal frameworks.
