Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act

Common card · No. 376929

The Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) is a United States federal law that imposed sanctions on Iran, North Korea, and Russia. It accomplishes this goal by preventing U.S. companies from doing business with sanctioned entities. The bill was passed by the Senate on July 27, 2017, 98–2, after it passed the House 419–3. It was signed into law on August 2, 2017, by President Donald Trump, who nevertheless believed that the legislation was "seriously flawed". The bill consisted of three titles, with the first targeting Iran, the second targeting Russia, and the third imposing new sanctions on North Korea.
