The Trump administration on Friday continued its last-minute push to apply new sanctions on the adversarial regimes in Iran, China, and Cuba, solidifying a pressure campaign that will give the incoming Biden administration a range of options for dealing with the ongoing threats posed by these nations.
New sanctions were slapped on Iran for its arms proliferation in the region and efforts to skirt measures aimed at blocking the country from importing steel. Several Cuban and Chinese officials were also sanctioned for widespread human rights abuses, according to information provided by the State and Treasury Departments.
