E120: How sanctions became a political weapon

Turn on the TV or scroll your phone – the headlines are full of war and global conflict.


But according to the author of a new book, modern warfare isn’t being fought on battlefields anymore – but through payment systems, supply chains, strategic waterways, insurance markets, and more. And no one does this better than the USA


Our expert host, Robin Lycka, is joined by Edward Fishman, Author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, and Tyler Nielsen, CEO of Sanctions Advisory, to reveal: How sanctions became a political weapon.


The panel discuss: How US government shapes the sanctions landscape, the ripple effects for compliance professionals, and what the future holds for global sanctions in the era of Trump.


Producer: Matthew Dunne-Miles

Editor: Dominic Delargy

Engineer: Nicholas Thon
