"What do Bob Dylan and US President Donald Trump have in common? Not a lot, it would appear, but leave it to sanctions expert George Tsimis to make a connection on Tuesday at the 31st annual Hellenic-American and Norwegian-American Chambers of Commerce Shipping Conference. […] Panellists said not all the action would be coming from Ofac, as a hyper-aggressive Department of Justice is likely to become a reality of the new Trump term. “Ofac does not keep me up at night,” said Tannebaum, who tracks trading activity in the illicit fleet. “What does is the Department of Justice and civil action suits. If you think a subpoena from Ofac is bad, wait till you get one from the FBI.” This was echoed by fellow panellist Claire Jungman of United Against Nuclear Iran. “I agree completely with David, and under Trump 2.0 we’re going to see a dramatic escalation in these actions,” she said."
