"By doing so, we will enhance compliance with U.S. and international sanctions, increase confidence in the rule of law, and bring criminals and rogue regimes seeking to circumvent U.S. law to justice." "Sanctions are among our most effective tools to punish our enemies and protect our national security," said Representative Deutch." With the strength of our financial system and in partnership with our allies and international organizations, U.S. sanctions can be immensely successful in deterring harmful behavior. But sanctions are only as strong as their enforcement. This bill would strengthen our sanctions regime by offering financial rewards for individuals who help the U.S. crackdown on sanctions evaders. I'm very happy to partner with Representative Wilson on this bill." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:39:44Z |
