Last Friday, President Trump issued a new Executive Order prohibiting securities transactions with listed “Communist Chinese Military Companies”. What’s that all about?

The episode (first in a few weeks - sorry!) covers what’s in the Executive Order, including some of the terms defined (and not defined) in it, and how some of the mechanisms in it are different than other EOs. Also, some commentary on how it’s going to be implemented - it did create a new OFAC program, because it invoked the authorities of IEEPA, which is their bailiwick - and commentary on some of the geopolitics underlying why this was the action that was taken.
