One is a sanction lifting on a fairly unimportant woman, true. Two are about "plans" a month ago (nothing was put in practice). Last one is tangentially related. But none are really about lifting sanctions on the country.
The last one is literally the gutting of the task force that was focused on sanctions enforcement, seizing assets of Russian oligarchs
Comprehensive sanctions target not only the country and businesses but individuals as well, especially in Russia where the oligarchs control the majority of the nation's wealth
Sanctioned oligarchs have completely different sanctions than trade sanctions that apply to countries. Apples and oranges.
False. There are 4 categories of sanctions.
Comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction
Targeted sanctions (individuals and entities threatening the peace, stability, and sovereignty, and/or contributing to conflict)
Arms embargo
Secondary sanction
United States Government Sanctions
Yes, that's not in dispute?
If you click through on the source on commerce sanctions (which is what would apply to possible tariffable goods) then you will find that the BIS oversees that. Not the taskforce going after Russian oligarchs, who have a different set of sanctions apply to them.
Again, there's already a high level of tariffs on Russian trade, and they don't have a "most favored trade nation" status anymore:
Financial sanctions are primarily administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), while export controls are primarily administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
